Top Trendy Hotels in the Center of Amsterdam

From artistic heritage to an elaborate canal system, Amerstedam is the capital of the Netherlands. While the narrow homes with gabled facades are legacies of the 17th-century Golden Age, the museum district is home to infamous works of art in the Van Gogh Museum. Beyond significant art collections and historical landmarks, Amsterdam is a commercial and financial hub as well as a vibrant, urban hotspot. When visiting the Netherlands, you can enjoy trendy hotels in the centre of Amsterdam.

Hotel Arena


In the Oosterpark, on the edge of Amsterdam's city centre, you'll discover a 4-star boutique hotel where people gather to broaden their horizons. The Oost District is one of the hippest spots in Amsterdam, with museums, sights, and the Beukenplein within walking distance. Say in one of the 140 hotel rooms, and you'll adore the monumental grandeur of the high ceilings, expansive windows, and cosy alcoves. The contemporary design is a mix of natural colours with historical luxury. All rooms have TVs, safes, free wifi, and other modern amenities. The villa suite is the creme de la creme of Hotel Arena, while the Loft boasts of sweeping views of Oosterpark. 

Chef Evergreens offers delectable cuisine at the bar and restaurant, from famous lobster bisque-filled wontons and select wines to all-day breakfast and bites.
