Built in 1902, the stylish American Hotel Amsterdam is set on Leidseplein square, in the centre of Amsterdam’s theatre district and surrounded by the city’s quaint canals. It’s a 10-minute walk from the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Modern Art Museum, and less that 15 minutes from the Bloemenmarkt, the famous floating flower market.

You can sip classic cocktails at the stylish green Italian marble and brushed brass bar, which takes pride of place in the centre of Café Americain. Or, head outside to “one of Amsterdam’s most iconic terraces − alongside a beautiful fountain next to Leidseplein” (Fodor’s).

The Art Deco-style rooms have views of the canals or bustling Leidseplein square. Wi-Fi is free.

Situated on the popular Leidseplein square, the Amsterdam American Hotel-Hampshire Eden enjoys a convenient location just on the edge of the historical canal district, the heart of Amsterdam. The elegant historic hotel expertly blends marvellous Art Nouveau style with modern rooms and facilities. On and around the Leidseplein, guests will find numerous restaurants, cafés, bars, pubs and theatres. The three most important museums of Amsterdam, the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum are just a few minutes’ walk away; the wonderful Vondelpark is even closer.
