Yotel Amsterdam

It’s no secret that Amsterdam is a city that’s teeming with art and culture, and with a stay at Yotel Amsterdam you’ll be within shouting distance of the action. Located in Amsterdam-Noord, this hotel rubs shoulders with plenty of hip bars, quirky cafés, and eclectic restaurants. And it’s just a short ferry ride from the city centre. 

Before you head across the water, why not dangle 100 metres above the ground on Europe’s highest swing? Amsterdam Lookout offers a shot of adrenaline alongside a sweeping city view, and it’s only 17 minutes’ walk from the hotel. It’s right next to a ferry port, too, so exploring the rest of the city from here will be a cinch. 

Step off the ferry at Amsterdam Centraal and the city is your oyster. You can be at the Anne Frank House in 10 minutes using the handy tram network, while the Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum are just a few minutes further. Prefer to see where the wind takes you? There’s no better city for a stroll, thanks to its famously pedestrian-friendly streets and picturesque canals. If you’re keen to cover more ground, rent a bike from hotel reception and see the city like a local. 

When you’ve had your fill of the city streets, head back to the hotel and you can grab a bite at the on-site restaurant. The all-day menu serves light bites and crowd-pleasers like sandwiches and pizzas, perfect for a laid-back dinner before bed.
