Events
movie nights, open mics, workshops & performances
come as you are @Café Jansen
Amazing things happen when we come together; strangers turn into friends and friends turn into family. That’s why we host events, performances, workshops and exhibitions at Café Jansen. Exchange words, thoughts, creativity and life lessons while eating, drinking, and having fun! Our spaces shift from atelier to co-working hub, from pre-party to come-down café. Locals, staff, and guests – from DJs and artists to designers and dancers – open your mind to Amsterdam’s boundary-pushing nightlife and daytime culture. At Hotel Jansen, a spontaneous evening can spark a movement, a new career, a creative breakthrough, or even a whole new identity!

GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER
We support community-led gatherings created by and for our floor residents, guests, and local neighbors. You’re welcome to invite people from other floors or nearby apartments to join as well. Think of theme nights like ‘Roots & Riot Dinners,’ where guests cook a dish from their home country or childhood, or an art-expression evening, where people create together and add new pieces to our walls. Whatever you’d like to organize, feel free to contact our community lead Janneke
OUR YEARLY EVENT
AMSTERDAM
RENAISSANCE PARTY
Tucked away in our backyard lies Levenslang, an industrial nighttime hideout in the old prison’s former boiler room. Each May – the month of renewal – Hotel Jansen brings back its notorious Amsterdam Renaissance Party, open to anyone seeking an unforgettable night out. Pulsing with the city’s raw, lived-in energy, we celebrate Amsterdam’s greatest asset: creative otherness. So make sure you’re there – book your tickets now!

At Hotel Jansen Bajeskwartier, events are an essential part of the hotel’s vibrant and community-driven atmosphere. Throughout the year, we organize a wide range of events for both guests and the local community, creating opportunities for people to meet, relax, and engage with the creative energy that defines the space.
The programming at Bajeskwartier is social, accessible, and dynamic, reflecting the character of one of Amsterdam’s newest and most innovative urban neighborhoods. Recurring events at the hotel include pub quizzes, movie nights, live performances by emerging artists, music evenings, and community gatherings that encourage interaction between travelers, students, creatives, professionals, and neighbors.
These events help shape the identity of Hotel Jansen Bajeskwartier as more than just a hotel; it is a place where people naturally come together, exchange ideas, and experience a shared sense of community. The combination of contemporary architecture, open communal areas, and a diverse group of guests creates an atmosphere that feels lively, welcoming, and constantly evolving.
The design of the hotel supports this social energy. Spacious communal areas and flexible layouts allow events to move naturally throughout the building, creating an environment where guests can participate casually and comfortably. Whether attending a movie screening, joining a quiz night, or discovering new local artists during a live performance, visitors experience the hotel as an active social hub within the city.
Alongside our own event programming, Hotel Jansen Bajeskwartier also offers the possibility to rent spaces for private and professional events. The flexible event areas are suitable for workshops, creative sessions, corporate gatherings, networking events, private dinners, brand activations, celebrations, and multi-day programs. Combined with on-site accommodation and a dedicated hospitality team, the location is especially well suited for group stays and events that combine work, creativity, and social interaction.
Hotel Jansen Bajeskwartier offers a contemporary event experience where hospitality, creativity, and community come together in an inspiring and distinctly Amsterdam setting.
