On a quiet side of the canal location the King Hotel is accommodated in an inviting canal house. It is now a modern, family run hotel, with en-suite facilities and other comforts, such as LCD TVs in the rooms. The hotel now offers a good standard, a central location and importantly great value for money!
The independent Vondel Hotel is located in a quiet street close to most of the major museums. The bedrooms are well equiped and decorated in a contemporary, elegant style. The lobby area with its wooden floors, comfortable sofas and soft lighting ooze a relaxing ambience. Cosy bar extends onto a charismatic garden area where guests can relax during the summer months.
Situated on the south side of the Amsterdam's heart along the river, the Okura Hotel provides the discerning guest a great range of facilities and is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World group. There are four restaurants to choose from, including two awarded one Michelin star restaurants and a top health centre, with a 18 metre swimming pool, which is for relaxing after a day sightseeing.
Extended over several landmarks the Park Hotel has a great central location overlooking the Singel Canal, between the lively Leidseplein and the Rijksmuseum. The bedrooms and public areas were redecorated in 2007 and the interior now offers contemporary design, whilst retaining a very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. Bedrooms are simple, yet modern and the crowded brasserie bar is a trendy place to enjoy a drink or food throughout the day.
This a stylish, intimate boutique hotel domiciled in a 17th century historic building that is centrally located in one of the cutest canals, yet concealed from the bustle of the city by its own grounds. Rooms were designed by Anoushka Hempel and the stunning public areas have been renovated short time ago, presenting stylish surroundings to relax in. The Dylan restaurant, purposes a mix of international dishes, which are both traditional and modern and the cuisine is French with North African influences. An experience well worth the price.
For something unusual why not try a stay on the water in Amsterdam's well known floating hotel, the Amstel Botel. Since 2008 the hotel has been fixed in a trendy dockside area immediately to the North of Central Station, artists' studios and hip cafes. A great plus point is the fact that they also offer a free ferry connection and shuttle bus service to Central Station. The cabins are compact but have all en-suite facilities you would expect.
