Corporate Housing Amsterdam — Furnished Apartments for Business Relocations
Published • Wed, Mar 25, 2026
Fully furnished corporate apartments in Amsterdam with flexible contracts, direct HR invoicing, and BSN registration support. Ready for your team within days.
What Is Corporate Housing in Amsterdam?
Corporate housing is fully furnished, self-contained accommodation arranged for employees on assignment, relocation, or project-based contracts. Unlike a hotel, corporate housing gives your people a proper home — a real kitchen, a workspace, a living area, and a registered address — for as long as the assignment requires.
City Retreat has been providing corporate housing in Amsterdam since 2012, working directly with HR teams, mobility managers, and relocation agencies to make the process as straightforward as possible. We handle the accommodation side so your team can focus on the work.
HR & Mobility Invoicing
We invoice directly to your company or mobility provider. No employee out-of-pocket expense.
Move-In Ready
Every apartment is inspected, furnished, and equipped before your employee arrives. Zero setup required.
All-Inclusive Pricing
One monthly figure covers rent, utilities, Wi-Fi, and linen. Simple to budget, simple to invoice.
Flexible Contract Length
From 2 months upward, with no fixed end date. Contracts adapt when project timelines change.
BSN Registration
Employees can register their Amsterdam address from day one — essential for banking, healthcare, and payroll.
Dedicated Support
Our local team handles maintenance, queries, and any issues within 48 hours. Your employee is never left chasing.
Corporate Housing vs Hotel: What Actually Works for Extended Stays
For assignments longer than a few weeks, hotels stop making sense — financially and practically. Corporate housing gives your employee a real home environment, which research consistently shows improves productivity, wellbeing, and retention on assignment.

The BSN (citizen service number) is required to open a Dutch bank account, access healthcare, and complete payroll registration in the Netherlands. Employees staying in hotels or Airbnbs cannot register an address — which means they cannot obtain a BSN. City Retreat apartments support municipality registration from the first day of tenancy.
Corporate Housing Costs in Amsterdam
All City Retreat rates are all-inclusive — one figure covering rent, utilities, Wi-Fi, furnishings, and linen. No hidden costs, no separate bills, no end-of-stay surprises. Straightforward to budget and straightforward to invoice.
Electricity, water, gas, high-speed Wi-Fi, fully furnished interiors, kitchen equipment, bed linen and towels, professional deep-clean before arrival, and ongoing maintenance support. The monthly figure you agree is the figure you pay.
How City Retreat Works with HR and Mobility Managers
We've built our corporate process around what HR teams and relocation agencies actually need: fast turnaround, clean invoicing, and reliable communication throughout the assignment — not just at the start.
Share the Assignment Details
Tell us the move-in date, expected duration, number of bedrooms needed, and any specific requirements. We'll shortlist suitable apartments from our live availability.
We Match & Confirm
We present the best options, confirm pricing, and hold the apartment while contracts are reviewed. Most corporate bookings are confirmed within 24–48 hours.
Contracts & Invoicing Arranged
We issue a tenancy agreement and set up invoicing directly to your company or mobility provider. We can accommodate different invoicing structures as needed.
Employee Moves In
We meet your employee at the apartment for a full handover — keys, walk-through, neighbourhood rundown. They're settled and comfortable from day one.
Ongoing Support Throughout
Our team handles any maintenance, queries, or contract adjustments during the stay. You're kept informed without needing to manage the detail yourself.

We needed somewhere for our new Amsterdam hire to land while they sorted a permanent place. City Retreat sorted everything quickly and professionally. We use them for every relocation now.
Moving to Amsterdam for a six-month project felt daunting, but City Retreat made it genuinely easy. The apartment was exactly as described and any questions were answered the same day.
The invoicing process was completely painless — one monthly figure, directly to accounts. I didn't have to chase anything or manage receipts. That alone makes City Retreat worth it.
Our senior hire needed somewhere immediately on a project basis. City Retreat had options ready within 24 hours and the apartment was excellent. Straightforward from start to finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We invoice directly to your company, mobility provider, or relocation agency — whichever arrangement suits your process. We can accommodate different invoicing structures and are happy to discuss corporate account arrangements for ongoing or multiple bookings.
Often within a few days of confirming the booking, subject to availability. For urgent relocations, contact us directly and we'll prioritise finding a suitable option as quickly as possible.
Our contracts have no fixed end date — just one calendar month's notice to terminate. If an assignment is extended, the contract simply continues. If it ends early, we require only the standard notice period. We work with you when circumstances change, not against you.
Yes. City Retreat operates registered serviced accommodation, meaning employees can register their Amsterdam address with the municipality from the start of their tenancy. This is essential for obtaining a BSN, opening a bank account, and completing payroll registration in the Netherlands.
Yes — a significant portion of our corporate clients book multiple apartments across the year, either for different team members or for successive assignments. We can set up a corporate account arrangement to streamline the booking and invoicing process for repeat clients.
