Conveniently located less than 10 minutes’ walk from the Rijksmuseum, on the opposite side of the canal from the Leidseplein square, this traditional red-brick building was originally built for the 1928 Olympic Games. A renovation in 2023 has refreshed its interiors, including the 237 modern rooms, decorated in soothing light colours with wooden floors; those on higher floors enjoy views over the city. A generous buffet breakfast is served each morning, and the refurbished ‘Bar & Kitchen Copper’ is open for lunch, dinner, coffee or cocktails. In the summer months a patio garden offers a peaceful respite.
