Amsterdam Marriott Hotel

Amsterdam Marriott Hotel sits on the Stadhouderskade at Leidseplein, next to Vondelpark and within about a five-minute walk of the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum, and the shopping streets around P.C. Hooftstraat. The building is a modern high-rise in contrast to the canal-house hotels nearby, giving it larger standard rooms and more meeting space than most properties in the city center. Guest Rooms, Executive Rooms, and Suites are decorated by Dutch designer Piet Boon in light tones with flexible seating areas suited to both leisure stays and business travel. The hotel's Midtown Grill restaurant focuses on dry-aged steaks and is one of the better-regarded hotel restaurants in the city, alongside a separate bar. A fitness center is available for guests, though the hotel does not have a spa or pool. Meeting rooms and event space make it a common choice for conferences and business travelers, and the concierge desk is oriented toward that mix of business and leisure guests, arranging transport, tickets, and restaurant bookings. The Leidseplein location puts nightlife, trams, and the Vondelpark entrance directly outside, useful for both an evening out and a morning run. The scale of the building and its meeting facilities set it apart from the boutique canal-house hotels that dominate the rest of the city center.
