Some people say that The Grand Hotel Amrath Amsterdam is the quintessential 5-star hotel in the city. Others might argue against that bold statement but I’m not going to argue about anything today. Instead I’m going to focus on the positive aspects of this charming hotel. While it isn’t directly in the city center, it remains to be highly worth your while to stay here, nevertheless.

It is an enormous and most unique hotel, which in its former life was a shipping house built in 1928. Much later, it was converted into hotel (in 2007). You might notice that this hotel isn’t like any other in Amsterdam. Borrowing its architectural style from Art Nouveau (Art Deco), the gorgeous décor from way back when will urge you to examine and revel in everything about it from the basement to its upper most floors.

It’s within very close proximity to the train station, which is around a five minute stroll. The international airport, Schiphol Airport, is only about 18 kilometers (11 miles) away.

Do not leave the hotel without taking full advantage of the spa. The spa is situated in the basement area and is absolutely free of charge. What to do? Good question! There are three saunas having different temperatures. There’s a steam bath to sweat it out and purge yourself from the toxins that accumulate in your system over a period of time. The whirlpool, swimming pool and the weight room are also free of charge and are calling your name!
