For guests smitten by the IJ River and the influence that water has had on the culture and history of Amsterdam, the Amstel Botel offers a unique opportunity to experience these waters up close and personal. The Amstel Botel is a floating hotel, located next to the former NDSM shipyard. This 3-star hotel finds itself in the artistic and cultural hub of the city. A free-ferry ride is all it takes for the hotel to connect its guests to the major tourist attractions, restaurants, nightlife and things to do in Amsterdam. With the ex-NDSM shipyard being a regular host to events, festivals and shows, guests can be assured of being entertained throughout their stay.
