Amsterdam is one of the world’s most gorgeous cities, with its latticework of canals. Also charming cobblestone alleys, and Golden Age gabled buildings. Every turn exposes another arched bridge, beautiful canal, or dramatic paved path. Not to mention so many tall, good-looking Dutch bikers.
Strategic scheduling will assist since Amsterdam’s hotels have among the highest occupancy rates. And pricing on the continent with an average nightly cost of 167 euros (about $185). And situated four- and five-star facilities fetching several hundred dollars per night.
Amsterdam thus enjoys year-round popularity, especially in the late spring and summer. And early fall when the weather is at its best. As a result, those seasons have the highest hotel prices. Expect rooms of all sizes and forms, from bare concrete to historical detailing. As well as decor ranging from minimal to retro-hip to luxurious.
Several hotels are in ideal locations. But many are in outlying locations with excellent access to the city core because Amsterdam has high nightly rates.
Volkshotel
There are also a few artist-designed “special rooms,” such as an all-white bike-themed apartment with two white bikes to peddle about town. During the day, the industrial-style foyer serves as a cafe and coworking area. With intelligent creatives tapping away on laptops at long public tables. It becomes a throbbing nightclub on weekends. With DJs performing until 3 a.m. For a more tranquil rooftop experience, hotel guests may use a Finnish outdoor sauna and three open-air hot tubs.
Conscious Hotel Westerpark
For a four-star hotel, the rooms are pretty sparse, with grey carpeting, white or wood-paneled walls, and modern metal furnishings. All rooms include comfortable Royal Dutch Auping beds. Along with more extensive accommodations offering King-sized versions. Pick up some organic food from the lobby café, and you’re ready for a picnic. The Kantoor bar also offers a free daily happy hour with wine.
Hotel Arena
A large cast-iron and marble staircase, murals, and stained-glass windows from the original structure were all restored. And used into the modern, antique design. The crown gem is the titled Park restaurant, which has glass walls and a massive patio with views of Oosterpark’s pond and fountain. Former dorms are a mishmash of rooms in different shapes, sizes, and designs.
While a new wing houses the majority of the hotel’s enormous, contemporary suites with stunning park views. High ceilings, big windows, wood floors, and contemporary furnishings are features of classic rooms, some of which are twist-level. While others have views of the tranquil courtyard. Many of the bigger Supreme category rooms have direct access to the garden.
The Hoxton Amsterdam
This beautiful four-star, which occupies five 17th-century canal houses in the center of the famous Nine Streets neighborhood, couldn’t be in a more nuanced position. The Hoxton Amsterdam, like its sister establishments in London and the United States. It has a stylish vintage ambiance that makes it a big favorite with the local hipster community.
The rooms are into three categories. Shoebox, Cozy, and Roomy, and half of them have views of the famed Herengracht canal. Depending on the room, they have historic beamed or domed ceilings and wood-paneled walls. But they all have stunning herringbone floors, chandeliers, and funky leather headboards. Cozy bedrooms with double beds are around 183 square feet in size.
Sir Adam Hotel
Half the joy of staying at this music-themed luxury resort is getting there. Take the free 24/7 public ferry from Central Station for a breathtaking three-minute journey across the harbor. The hotel is then a few minutes walk away, occupying the first eight stories of A’DAM Toren. A 1970s office building turned entertainment attraction. In the style, industrial-chic flats, rock and roll posters and pictures of well-known performers are all over the concrete walls.
The views are fantastic, looking out over the IJ harbor and the city. But, for city views, you’ll need to change from the entry-level Boutique suites to at least the Deluxe category. The Hub, a powerful dual-level lobby. It shares space with The Butcher, a fashionable local burger shop. And has colored couches, a pool table, and a video-game machine.
