Location & surroundings
The hotel stands directly on Prinsengracht within Amsterdam’s seventeenth-century Canal District, between the Nine Streets shopping area and Leidseplein. The surrounding neighbourhood is historic, central and highly walkable, with canal houses, boutiques, galleries, cafés and restaurants lining the surrounding streets. Jordaan lies to the north-west, while Museumplein and Vondelpark are south of the hotel. Leidseplein tram stops are approximately 400 metres away, and Rokin Metro Station is roughly 900 metres away straight-line. Most central attractions can be reached on foot or by tram, while bicycles are practical for longer city journeys. A car is generally unnecessary because central parking is limited and expensive.
