Top 10 Family Hotels
-
1. Owl
Although there are no particular facilities for children (beyond triple rooms and cots for babies), this family-run hotel in the Museum Quarter is noted for its friendliness. A stuffed owl in an alcove provides the name. The hotel has a neat little garden, and fresh flowers in the fairly plain rooms.
-
2. Adolesce
Cheerful, friendly and simple, this canal house in Plantage has a welcoming attitude to children, with family rooms. Breakfast is no longer served (there are places nearby) but hot and cold drinks, fruit and cookies are on offer during the day.
-
3. Singel
Animal-loving children will enjoy staying opposite the Poezenboot. The family-run hotel has an excellent location on a pretty stretch of the Singel, and small but characterful bedrooms. Under-sevenyear olds stay for free, and babysitting can be arranged.
-
4. Amsterdam House
Treat the children to life aboard a houseboat. Amsterdam House has eight of them available for short or long rentals (from €150), as well as apartments and hotel rooms.
-
5. Estheréa
In the same family for three generations, this elegant hotel mixes modern facilities with traditional surroundings and a warm atmosphere. Baby baths and high chairs are available, and babysitting. A new wing with 20 rooms should be ready in 2005.
-
6. ’t Jagershuis
This small waterfront inn is a good option for families who prefer to stay outside the city centre. Just 10 km (6 miles) from the city by bus or bicycle, it’s in a charming village and there are family rooms.
-
7. Aadam Wihelmina
Recently renovated, this is an excellent two-star hotel in the Museum Quarter, with three- and four-bedded rooms. The yellow breakfast room is particularly jolly.
-
8. Rembrandt
This immaculate, good-value hotel has a wonderful antique breakfast room and spacious contemporary bedrooms that can accommodate up to six people.
-
9. NH Schiller
Teenagers might put up with parents in this famous Art Deco hotel overlooking the neon glare of Rembrandtplein, once the meeting-place of artists and poets. There are family rooms, and the kids can escape to the buzzing Schiller Café.
-
10. Albus Grand
Parents may prefer old-world character, but children usually like their hotels to look spanking new, like this recently opened three-star hotel in the Canal Ring. Some rooms sleep three or four, and there is a brasserie for breakfast and snacks.
