Another affordable, but luxurious, hotel is CitizenM in the heart of the city. Award-winning design agency, Concrete, is responsible for the aesthetic and there are some real high-end touches at a budget price. More information is available at the website http://www.citizenmamsterdamcity.com/

Slightly more expensive include The Lloyd Hotel in the heart of the Oostelijk havengebied (eastern docks) in Amsterdam. Once a national monument and now renovated into a hotel dates back to 1921, the hotel’s 116 rooms all vary in size and décor. The design is the result of the input of a number of renowned Dutch architects and artists. More information is available on their website http://www.lloydhotel.com/

At the other end of the spectrum is the Hotel 717 which combines the features of an original 19th century building with all the mod-cons of 21st century living. Its magnificent façade hints at the splendour within with marble floors and a solid oak staircase leading to one of two suites that look out on to Prinsengracht at the front of the house and six other suites at the back which give out on to a rustic patio complete with maple tree. Check out www.717hotel.nl for more information. The Grand Hotel Amrâth Amsterdam is located in the Shipping House. It is right at the city centre only 500 metres from Central Station and 1100 metres from Dam Square. It has 165 spacious rooms decorated in the Art Deco style of the building.
