Hotel de Windketel

Originally part of Amsterdam’s waterworks, this octagonal turret used to contain a copper kettle that regulated the pressure of water pumped out into the city, but it’s now a luxury apartment spread over three levels. Hotel de Windketel’s interior features stylish décor focused on sustainability, showcasing the talents of various Dutch designers. Situated close to Amsterdam’s Westergasfabriek – a cultural and recreational hub in the city’s west – and within easy reach of the city center and the vibrant Jordaan neighborhood, this is the perfect place to enjoy the city’s charms.

Fletcher Hotel Amsterdam

Step into the future at this landmark location on the edge of the city.

Westerdok25

Nestled in the heart of Amsterdam, Westerdok25 is located aboard an old wooden ship in the harbor. This charming and well-equipped B&B has everything you need to make your stay perfect. Being situated in the hip Haarlemmerbuurt neighborhood, close to the center, puts myriad attractions at your fingertips, making it a wonderful place to take in the area’s individual atmosphere.

Hotel Not Hotel

If your taste verges towards a tad wacky then you’re going to love Hotel Not Hotel. Their rooms focus on fun, inviting you to lay your head down in a converted Amsterdam tram, a spruced up vintage VW Kombi, or to go incognito in a room that features a secret entrance behind a bookcase. And if you have a head for heights, the Crow’s Nest suite certainly delivers a bird’s-eye perspective.

Amstel Botel

All aboard the Amstel Botel at NDSM Wharf. This floating hotel features quiet 3-star rooms close to the bustling NDSM precinct, where art, flea markets, restaurants and bars await.
