Historical Hotels in Amsterdam
In a Renaissance city of Amsterdam several luxury hotels are located in the historical buildings like Sofitel Legend The Grand which was established in a historical Dutch Admiralty building and later served as the City Hall. It is here that the former Dutch Queen Beatrix married a German Prince Claus Felix von Amsberg in 1966. Another top property The Pulitzer Hotel grew over the years gradually adapting numerous 17 and 18 Century canal houses into the one luxury hotel. Today The Pulitzer is situated in 25 historical townhouses. The five star Grand Hotel Amrâth is located in a beautiful Art Nouveau building constructed a century ago as the Scheepvaarthuis (Dutch: ‘House of Shipping’), ship lenders offices of the six major Dutch shipping companies. While all these hotels create new tradition in the historical structures, there are also several historical hotels which are legendary through their location and their service. Iconic NH Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky is a 19th Century luxurious historical hotel constructed in 1883 at the Dam square, a true institution in Amsterdam history. Five star Hotel de L’Europe established in 1893 on the location dating to the 14 C. is another historical institution which through its location at the Amstel River and more than a hundred years long exemplary service offers you not only a luxurious stay, but also a truly romantic experience.
