The Victoria Hotel is a major hotel in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is on the corner of Damrak and Prins Hendrikkade, close to Amsterdam Centraal station.
The hotel opened on 19 August 1890 and was designed by J.F. Henkenhaf. It was the first hotel in the country to have electric lighting. It attracted well-known clientele, including Billy Graham, Louis Armstrong, Zarah Leander, Fats Domino and Glenda Jackson.
The building is designed around two older properties, Nos. 45 - 47 Prins Hendrikkade, that the hotel was unable to purchase owing to high prices. This idiosyncrasy was explored in the book and subsequent film Publieke werken (Public Works). The building of the hotel is also prominent in the 2015 movie "A Noble Intention".
