A classic Sunday meal to share
Roasted beef with Yorkshire pudding, honey glazed carrots, and a selection of seasonal vegetables, served with crunchy potatoes and a rich gravy. Finished with salted caramel ice cream for dessert.
Are we alone in the universe? And how realistic is the threat of cosmic impacts that could dramatically affect life on Earth? These are questions that capture the imagination and touch on both science and philosophy.
Science journalist Govert Schilling and philosopher Bas Haring engage in conversation about our fascination with extraterrestrial life and the significance of cosmic threats. What does the search for life beyond Earth reveal about who we are? And how do facts, probability, and human fear relate to one another when we look up at the stars?
An evening where astronomical knowledge meets philosophical reflection.
Please note: this conversation will be held in Dutch.
In previous editions of Ambassade Invites, we had the pleasure of welcoming a number of distinguished guests, including:
Iris de Graaf & Olaf Koens
About their time as correspondents in Russia, the profound impact of the war in Ukraine, and the struggle between truth and propaganda.
Geert Mak & Job Cohen
Engaging conversations about the history of Amsterdam and America, urban dynamics, and intriguing anecdotes.
Francine Oomen & Anne Marsman
Through Voice Dialogue, we explored the question “How do I survive 2026?” and what our resolutions reveal. Not to reject parts of ourselves, but to understand them. After all, you are not your behavior; you have a part that is trying to protect you.
Saskia Belleman & Doortje Smithuijsen
A conversation on femicide in a broader social context, discussing recurring patterns in relationships, ways of thinking about control, and the role of institutions.
The Ambassade Hotel is more than a hotel. It’s a place where art, culture, and wellbeing come together. Since the 1980s, we’ve welcomed writers, artists, and thinkers from all over the world.
Inside the hotel, you’ll find a unique collection of artworks from the Cobra movement and our Library Bar, featuring over 5,000 signed books from past guests. A place full of inspiration.
Want to know more or get in touch? We’d love to hear from you!
