Situated in an authentic town house Jan Luyken Hotel Amsterdam, nestled in the chique Museum Quarter, is surrounded by the most famous museums of Amsterdam. Within just a few minutes you will find yourself wandering through the Vondelpark, P.C. Hooftstraat and the Rijksmuseum.
You have probably heard of the 9 streets, but did you also hear about the Herenstraat in Amsterdam? A slightly more quiet street with a rich representation of one-off boutiques and great design. Just a tip; take a shopper (or two) with you, because we can almost assure you that you won’t go home empty-handed.
In need of a little relaxation? At Five City Spa you can count on fine facials and great massages, all in a stylish setting. It's a real oasis of relaxation in the heart of the buzzing city centre. At the city spa they are very much in favour of having and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, in which relaxation of course plays an important part.
The
Vondelpark is not only the largest city park in the Netherlands, but also
perhaps the most versatile. It is located in the heart of the city and has, in
addition to many nice restaurants, more than enough perfect picnic spots and
sights. Walk past the statue of Joost van den Vondel, the artwork 'Figure
Découpée' by Pablo Picasso or the old music chapel from 1873.
Whether you're in the mood for a serious shopping spree or you just feel like window shopping, Amsterdam's chicest shopping street, also sometimes called "the PC", has fashion-loving shops like Dior, Prada and Chanel to spare. And the best part is: you can find the shopping street right across from our hotel.

On the east side of Amsterdam, where the IJ en the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal cross, traders and explorers once left by boat for the East Indies and America. Today, the area with its remarkable buildings and houses is a real attraction for architecture lovers. Be sure to stop at Kanis and Meiland 3.0 for a coffee and visit Loods 6.
