Amsterdam

Because of the hotel's central location, there are numerous restaurants, bars and coffeeshops in the immediate area. Not to forget the many small boutique shops.
Here are some of our favorite places to eat, followed by links to three Amsterdam guides that we think are both informative and entertaining.

But first another subject

A great addition to the many tours offered in Amsterdam,is Orange Umbrella Walking Tours, started by ex-pat Ellen Dworkin. Ellen has lived here 28 years and can tell a good story or two. Tours are limited to small groups and are reasonably priced. If interested contact Ellen : edworkin@gmail.com
