Ask about non-smoking and wheelchair accessible accommodations.
Dining & Entertainment: Exquisite French cuisine and a fabulous wine list put the "grand" in the Grand Restaurant. On sunny days, you can sit at tables in the hotel's inner courtyard. Share a snack and converse over cocktails at the Lounge Bar. Call on room service any time. Be adventurous and explore Amsterdam for dining delights. On the one hand, Dutch cuisine is generally simple, wholesome, and hearty. Learn the history of hutspot and enjoy a bowl of this traditional concoction made with potatoes, carrots, and onions. On the other hand, the country's exploring and trading past also is evident in the food you readily find. The Indonesian rijsttafel, in which small portions of a variety of dishes are eaten with rice, has been a Dutch favorite for centuries. See a ballet, an opera, or the symphony at the nearby Het Muziektheater. Also close by the hotel is the Concertgebouw, the world's second most-visited concert hall.
Recreation: The heated indoor swimming pool has a jet stream. Get your heart pumping and blood flowing in the fitness center, and relax in the sauna. The spa has a Turkish bath. Mingle with the locals on Dam Square, popular for shopping, dining, watching street performers, and more. See masterpieces from such artists as Johannes Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Jacob van Ruysdael at the Rijksmuseum. For a change of pace, visit Artis, the Netherlands' oldest zoo, located in the center of Amsterdam. Consult with your Travel Specialist to arrange special activities.
