At Zien Group, we operate 12 distinctive hotels across the Netherlands under the Eden Hotels and Jan Luyken Amsterdam brands.

In July 2024, Zien Group was acquired by Leonardo Hotels, part of the rapidly expanding Fattal Hotel Group, which operates over 300 hotels across Europe and Israel.

Leonardo Hotels brings a diverse portfolio of brands, including Leonardo Hotels, Leonardo Royal, Leonardo Boutique, Leonardo Limited Edition, and NYX Hotels, designed to meet the varied needs of today’s traveler. In the coming months, the Zien Group hotels will transition to join the Leonardo family, aligning with these established brands.
