During Advocatuur's first guest shift, Maroš Dzurus worked bench-side with the Amsterdam team, close enough to read the room in service and close enough for the team to read his method. He now becomes director of bars and beverage at Advocatuur at Rosewood Amsterdam, taking the bar into its next stage as Yann Bouvignies moves into a wider Rosewood role. Dzurus brings nearly 20 years in drinks and hospitality from Himkok Oslo, where he was bar manager.
Maroš Dzurus Leads Advocatuur Rosewood Amsterdam
Dzurus takes charge of the bar's creative direction. For guests, the move means future mixology programmes at Advocatuur Rosewood Amsterdam will be shaped by a maker who has already worked the room with the team, then returned to build the method behind the service.
Advocatuur opened in May 2025. Dzurus's work now includes ingredient development, team training and service systems, the structure that lets a drinks programme be taught, repeated and sharpened by the team on the floor.
From Himkok Oslo to Rosewood Amsterdam
Dzurus had already worked with the Advocatuur team during the bar's first guest shift. That collaboration gives the appointment a piece of shared practice: the team has seen him on the tools, and he has seen the room in motion.
"I am very much looking forward to making the move to Amsterdam to lead the team at Advocatuur," Dzurus said. "Over the past year, the team has cultivated a bespoke and inspiring drinks experience committed to heritage, culture and outstanding hospitality. I hope to build on this foundation by working closely with the team, building relationships within the local community, and supporting the continued development of the bar experience. I am excited to help define the next chapter of Advocatuur's presence within the global bar scene."
Yann Bouvignies and the EMEA Hand-Off
Bouvignies moved from Scarfes Bar at Rosewood London to help launch Advocatuur. He is now corporate director of food and beverage, excellence, EMEA for the hotel group.
The change separates the work of opening a bar from the discipline of developing it. Bouvignies carries the broader regional food and beverage brief; Dzurus takes direct responsibility for the bar's creative and beverage direction in Amsterdam.
Future Mixology Programmes at Advocatuur
Dzurus's focus includes work with local and seasonal ingredients, stronger development for the bar team, and closer attention to service, storytelling and technique. Readers following the bar should watch those areas first: the ingredients he chooses, the training he gives the station, and the way the team carries heritage and culture into the glass.
Those strands will determine how he shapes Advocatuur's next programmes: what the team chooses to make, how he trains that work into service, and how clearly the bar connects heritage, culture and hospitality in the glass.
