In Amsterdam, people may come and go but you will always feel at home.
Amsterdam is so welcoming, wondrous and well-travelled that before you know it you might find yourself as a passionate group member of a neo-K-pop band with a jazzy flavour. This is Amsterdam off the beaten path.
A place to rest... Volkshotel
In Amsterdam, every wall has a door. And every door is open. All things considered, it is very likely that one of those doors leads to a hotel, inn, hostel, sleeping boat... or just a cozy place to have a nap. In this blooming scene, Volksthotel is quite something. A hotel of the people and former newspaper headquarters where dreaming is guaranteed. Stockbrokers, punk rockers, dandies and poets. A place for everyone “where nothing is standard, not even our standard room”. Be prepared for the unexpected. Or just be.

A place to work on the go… Lotti’s, The Hoxton
There are many inspiring environments where you can bring your laptop –or your pen and paper– and work on the go in Amsterdam. Located beside a dreamy canal, the trendy Hoxton hotel also holds the lively Lotti’s, the perfect spot to grab a bite or sip a delicious cup of coffee while making the most of your remote working duties. Charging stations and USB ports near every table will keep your juices flowing. Oh, Lotti’s even opens till late, so no excuse for night-thinkers!

A place to be surprised... Vuurtoreneiland Zomerrestaurant
Dining on a secret island sounds the kind of plan that you would feel like doing even with your eyes closed. The pop-up restaurant experience of Vuurtoreneiland Zomerrestaurant happens inside a greenhouse and only for a limited time in summer. Arriving by boat, you will enjoy a locally-produced menu that will make the experience even more tasty. The only downside is that here you can’t improvise. So this time –this once– plan and book in advance. Mmm, lekker!
