The Lloyd Hotel & Cultural Embassy
The Lloyd Hotel & Cultural Embassy is the first 1 to 5 star design hotel in the world. It was created out of a curiosity to explore the cultural luggage of guests, a longing to make a connection between Dutch culture and theirs and a zest for making visitors feel welcome. The Cultural Embassy is present throughout the building, hosting and initiating cultural events, introducing people to one another and giving them the lowdown on Amsterdam cultural life.
The hotel has 117 unique hotel rooms ranging from 1 to 5 stars fitted out by a plethora of Dutch artists and designers. A large restaurant and a tranquil terrace on the South. Four mezzanine platforms used for exhibitions, meetings and events. A Library, two main banqueting rooms and 10 smaller meeting rooms.
Steinbeisser
Steinbeisser was founded by Martin Kullik and Jouw Wijnsma. Their work aims to challenge the contemporary eating culture. They launched the Experimental Gastronomy initiative based at the Lloyd Hotel & Cultural Embassy in Amsterdam and active worldwide.
Steinbeisser’s Experimental Gastronomy is a food experience with artistically created tableware, such as cutlery and dishes. Each edition, we invite artists and renowned guest chefs to create an exclusive and entirely plant-based (vegan) dining experience, with all ingredients from biodynamic or organic agriculture sourced in the different regions of Germany.
The wine and juice pairings will be curated by the chef and the sommelier. In addition to authentic Dutch wines, artisanal beers, naturally produced juices and the finest herbal teas, we serve Amsterdam tap water. Research shows that this is considered to be one of the best tap waters in the world.
Biodynamic or organic agriculture
The biodynamic farming is one of the most natural, environmental, animal and human friendly forms of agriculture. Like in organic agriculture there is no use of chemical-synthetic fertilisers and pesticides. Biodynamic farmers go further and add special compost and preparations to the soil to increase its quality.
The earth is seen as a living organism and plants have time to grow and mature. Preferably open-pollinated varieties may be used, varieties which develop their seed independently in regular cycles. The result is food with character and full of vitality.

I love Pilates! It brought my health back. I have been practising Pilates for more than 17 years now and have been a certified Peak Pilates trainer for the past 11 years.
I have never felt so fit, vibrant, energetic, supple and strong in my whole life. And I have no more pain. I do a Pilates workout 5 times per week on mat and apparatus. Every week I attend the classes (private and group) from my mentor and my trainer, Javier Velazquez. He is the best Pilates trainer in the world. Yes, I am very blessed that this extremely talented and experienced teacher is my trainer. Although I am Peak Pilates educated, I adore his very pure, original Joe sessions.
I have an open mind and I give a platform to Pilates trainers from all backgrounds, because we all do a great job! I do this for free in my spare time (which I hardly have).
I run a busy, fully equipped Pilates Studio Pilates Studio van Sonsbeek in the Netherlands in the middle of the historic center of the town Zoetermeer. I love my work, my lovely clients and my beautiful studio. So much fun and positive energy. I teach 6 days a week an average of 30 sessions; privates, duo’s, trio’s and groups.
You would do me a great favor if you like my page on Facebook! Thank you very much!
