Overview
4 Star, Superior First Class Historical Hotel: Boutique
This charming hotel is ideally situated along one of Amsterdam's historical and infamous canals, the Herengracht. All museums and entertainment centres are within walking distance, as well as the famous Amsterdam flower market, Central Station and Rembrandtsplein.
The bedrooms were completely renovated in 2004 and now offer an inclusive concept which means that mini-bar drinks, cable TV and movies are all complimentary. The bedrooms are in very good condition and are decorated in a faux art-deco concept, with wood furniture, plasma television and surround sound, burgundy curtains, a black armchair and foot stool, and art deco wardrobe. The bathrooms have also been completely renovated and are also in very good condition with black and white tiling and a power shower with extra large shower head in every room.
The hotel does not have a restaurant due to the numerous restaurants in the near vicinity of the hotel, however, there is a breakfast room on the lower ground floor. This was also completely renovated in 2004 and now has a black and white tiled floor with some seating on a yellow banquette and a breakfast buffet served on a imitation aga cooker. The wooden dressers and the aga give a cosy and homey atmosphere, and some items are cooked on the spot e.g. pancakes, waffles etc. There is also a large table with magazines and sightseeing information.
The hotel is an old building which is protected as one of Amsterdams monuments and which has recently been cleaned. The lobby, like the rest of the hotel, was completely renovated in 2004 and is reminiscent of the art deco era, which is the time when the hotel was actually built. It has stained glass windows, wooden floors and an attractive wood reception desk. Extending from the lobby is the lounge area which has ample seating on multicoloured furniture, a feature fire place and a complimentary bar and Internet corner.
This hotel is very well located and offers the guest a unique concept in as much as everything is included, from the mini bar in the rooms, to the drinks in the hotel bar and use of the Internet. The only exception is telephone calls. The recent renovation of this hotel also means that it is now one of the best first class properties in Amsterdam.
