The Neighborhood

Located in the Waterlooplein neighborhood, the hotel sits in one of Amsterdam’s most historically significant areas. This district is famed for its daily flea market, which has operated since the 19th century, and its deep ties to the city’s Jewish history. You are within a short stroll of the Dutch National Opera & Ballet, the botanical gardens (Hortus Botanicus), and the iconic thin bridge (Magere Brug). The area is impeccably connected by tram and metro, making the Jordaan district and Museum Square easily accessible while allowing guests to stay in a slightly more local, culturally rich pocket of the city center.
