Lotti’s Restaurant & Bar / Upstairs at Lotti’s

Lotti’s Restaurant & Bar is affiliated with The Hoxton, Amsterdam. The venue is located at Herengracht 255 in the heart of Amsterdam. The Hoxton, Amsterdam opened in July 2015 on the Herengracht. Lotti’s is publicly described as the restaurant and bar of this hotel. The names of individual founders are not mentioned in the available materials.

The concept of Lotti’s has evolved over time. The venue marked ten years of Lotti’s with an update to its existing European restaurant and bar format. This update introduced a Latin American influence. It is not just about the kitchen, but also about the role of the bar and the upper space within the overall concept.

On November 11, 2024, a new phase began for Lotti’s. This included a new culinary team, an updated menu, and changes to the interior. The mezzanine also took on a new role under the name Upstairs at Lotti’s. This space is dedicated to coffee during the day and to cocktails later in the evening.

For coffee drinkers, the menu layout is particularly relevant. The card lists black coffee, white coffee, and cold variants. Under black coffee, you will find espresso, Americano, filter coffee, cold brew, and espresso tonic. The menu also notes that coffee is available iced. This makes the offering broader than just a classic espresso bar order.

Under white coffee, the menu lists cortado, macchiato, latte, flat white, and cappuccino. These drinks focus on combinations of espresso and milk. The menu distinguishes between different blends and origins. Under black coffee, it lists Hoxton blend by Origin. Under white coffee, it lists El Palto, Peru by Uncommon.

Upstairs at Lotti’s is specifically linked to coffee from Uncommon in the available materials. Pastries from a local bakery are also mentioned for daytime service. The available information does not provide details on brewing equipment, roast profiles, extraction times, or filter methods beyond the listed drinks. No publicly documented coffee workshops or coffee tastings at Lotti’s were found.

In addition to coffee, the menu also lists other hot drinks. These include chai latte, matcha latte, hot chocolate, and various types of tea. This category is relevant because Lotti’s is not a standalone coffee bar, but a restaurant and bar location within a hotel. As a result, the coffee offering sits alongside food, cocktails, wine, and other beverages.

The upper floor plays a distinct role in this context. Upstairs at Lotti’s is described as coffee-focused during the day and cocktail-focused in the evening. This combination aligns with Lotti’s broader hospitality concept. For the specialty coffee sector, the mention of Uncommon and the separate daytime function of the mezzanine are particularly significant.

The available materials list various suppliers and partners. For coffee, Origin and Uncommon are mentioned. Additionally, Kometenbrood and small producers from The Kitchen Republic Community are cited in relation to the updated menu. The bar menu notes that coffee and tea blends are organic and fair trade.

In broader procurement, Zuiver and Well of Wines are also mentioned. The wine selection includes natural, organic, and biodynamic wines. This information forms part of Lotti’s overall hospitality profile but also provides context for how the venue integrates suppliers and product origins into its concept.

Lotti’s also offers a program beyond its regular restaurant and bar functions. Lotti’s Selects takes place on Fridays and Saturdays from 8:00 PM to midnight, featuring a rotating lineup of local DJ talent. On Sundays, during the summer season, there is Lazy Tails, a dog-friendly event from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

In addition, Best of Both is listed daily from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Lotti’s Bar. Amsterdam Cocktail Week also documented a Double Dre Guest Shift at Upstairs at Lotti’s. These notable events focus primarily on music, bar culture, cocktails, and social gatherings. No public information was found regarding specific coffee events.

The venue received attention in both international and Dutch hospitality media. Around the opening of The Hoxton Amsterdam in 2015, Lotti’s was mentioned as the hotel’s restaurant. The upper floor was already associated with coffee and cocktails at that time. In 2024, it received renewed attention due to the concept’s refresh and the launch of Upstairs at Lotti’s.

No formal awards or mentions on award lists for Lotti’s or Upstairs at Lotti’s were documented in the available materials. As a result, the venue’s profile relies primarily on its hotel context, its 2024 repositioning, the mentioned suppliers, and the combination of restaurant, bar, and coffee functions.
