The first Dikker and Co Shop was founded in 1895 by Mr. A.W. Dikker and soon became famous in Amsterdam and the rest of Holland for its quality. Henri Thijs became a partner in 1915 after being the assistant of the famous French chef Auguste Escoffier. In 1921 the majestic Prinsengracht building became the new address of Dikker and Thijs.
Today, more than 100 years later, a lot has changed but the new Dikker and Thijs Fenice Hotel still respects the spirit of the founders. In 2001 the historical hotel was completely redecorated in a lavish classic style.
