The hotel's interior
The interiors are decorated with shades of white that – together with lighting – create an intimate atmosphere. The contrast of historical elements and Dutch design is emphasised through these white rooms and black bathrooms. The black glass walls of the bathroom cubicle and the shiny tiles are a remarkable match.

Dining hint In Hotel

The ToDine Restaurant in the hotel is just fine. Nothing splashy or showy -- just really fresh and excellent food, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The wait service seems a little improved from the days at the Arena, several years ago, when you would wait an hour for a beer to be delivered to your teble. (OK, maybe it was 15 minutes -- but that's still a long wait!) Now it is down to like half that much -- I was honestly surprised.

Recreational Attactions Short drive from hotel

Rent a bike and take a train to the nearby city of Weesp. This town is small and very quaint.."typical Dutch". With a good map, you can spend the whole day riding the well groomed bike trails through the neighboring cities and see windmills and forts. This was the best part of our trip.
