Gothic architecture meets chic, modern design with dining and nightlife

Housed in a monumental late-19th century edifice, formerly the St. Elisabeth Orphanage, the Hotel Arena Amsterdam offers guests an exciting fusion of historic architecture and modern design. Guests enjoy the tranquility of the hotel's residential setting yet remain within a short commute from many of the city's leading cultural, shopping and nightlife attractions. Charmingly boutique rooms are equipped with modern amenities without losing rich historic appeal. Hotel Arena also offers a sophisticated in-house restaurant, lounge and nightclub.

Highlights
  • Full slate of in-house dining and nightlife options
  • Inspiring fusion of modern and traditional design
  • Convenient to destinations in both central and outer Amsterdam            
Rooms

The Hotel Arena's 116 boutique guest rooms welcome guest with minimalist modern décor, genuine oak flooring and, in some cases, high ceilings. All rooms, from the deluxe guest rooms to studios and suites, come furnished with plush double beds and each room bears perfectly preserved 19th-century design elements. Guests enjoy satellite TV with On Demand movies and high-speed Internet access (fees apply).  Suites offer beautiful city, courtyard or garden views.

Features

A full slate of dining and nightlife options ensures guests enjoy a packed evening without leaving the hotel. ToDine boasts first-class Dutch and international cuisine in a sleek, yet cozy setting imagined by famed Dutch interior designer Ronald Hooft. Guests enjoy cocktails at the ToDrink lounge with chic, cosmopolitan interior or--in warmer months--on the spacious terrace. The Hotel Arena's swish, 2-story nightclub, ToNight, is the perfect hotspot to dance the night away.


Business travelers have access to showpiece meeting rooms. The boardroom, cloister room, garden room and church hall are all high-tech spaces that ingeniously merge technology with the Hotel Arena's heritage architecture.

Hyvä majoitus

Huone ja muut tilat olivat erittäin siistejä. Isona miinuksena kuitenkin se, että varauksessa luvattua vauvan sänkyä ei ollut mahdollisuutta saada kuin sviittihuoneisiin!

Hotel mit gutem Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis

Hotel liegt in der Nähe des Zentrums (ca 1,5 km). Ist mit öffentlichem Verkehrsmittel gut erreichbar (2 Tramlinien). Von der Haltestelle ca 200m entfernt. Sehr spezielles Gebäude mit Mischung aus alt und neu. Zustand ok - aber kaum 4-Stern Niveau. Preis war aber ok. Sehr gut das Frühstücksbüffet für einen Zuschlag von rund €5! Umgebung im Sommer sicher sehr schön. Jetzt im November eher etwas ..... Freundliche Bedienung an der Rezeption. Gäste gut durchmischt aber eher jünger. Erstklassiges Dancing in Kapelle direkt gegenüber. Ist empfehlenswert.

The main problem of this hotel

The main problem of this hotel is the location. It is far from the center of the city and you must take a Tram to go there. Also, it was recently reformed and painted. I was annoyed with the smell of paint. The reception is very slow.

Hammerflot værelse

Det var det flotteste og mest specielle hotelværelse jeg har oplevet. God mad på restauranten, dog må der godt være et lidt større udvalg. Godt, høfligt og kompetent personale.

Kein 0815 Hotel

sehr schönes Hotel, nicht 0815. Gut mit dem Tram erreichbar, ruhige Gegend. Leider etwas ringhörig. Aber bei gutem Schlaf kein Problem. An der Rezeption, sehr freundeliche Damen. In der Bar wurden wir leider nicht so gut bedient. Aber alles in allem nur zu empfehlen.

Geschäftlich in Amsterdam

Der Besuch der ISE in Amsterdam bedingt immer ein oder zwei nächte in dieser Stadt. Das Hotel liegt gut an der Linie M51. Ein paar Minuten zu laufen schadet ja nicht. Sehr originelles Zimmer mit gutem Bett. Es ist alles vorhanden was es braucht und das zu einem fairen Preis.
