WestCord Fashion Hotel Amsterdam ★★★★

Tucked away in a less touristy Amsterdam neighbourhood, the four-star WestCord Fashion Hotel Amsterdam overlooks the delightful 45 leafy hectares of Rembrandtpark, named after the famous 17th-century painter. Take a stroll amongst locals, admire the lakes and relish in the tranquil tree-filled, green space - a relaxing escape from the touristy hubbub of the city centre and brimming with wildlife.

As hinted at by the hotel name, it won't surprise you to find yourself based adjacent to the World Fashion Centre, so expect stylish fashion-themed interior design throughout the hotel, offering a contemporary atmosphere alongside comfort and well-equipped rooms. Hang out in the Fashion Lobby Bar or head to the trendy 10th-floor SKYY Bar Amsterdam, with fantastic views over the city and order one of their sought-after cocktails. The elegant Brasserie, Mme Coco, offers delicious French-Dutch cuisine with a lovely outdoor terrace, delightful when the sun shines.

Reaching the centre of Amsterdam is easy, with a tram dropping you at Leidseplein, one of the city's main squares and nightlife areas. From here, you can visit the Museum District and marvel at the exquisite artwork at the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum, or modern art at the Stedelijk. Afterwards, wander around the quaint, picturesque canal-district area featuring vintage and designer boutiques, plus cosy cafes. Even better, why not embrace the ways of the Amsterdammers and hire a bike from the hotel, making it easy to get around?

When it's time to head back to the hotel, why not pamper yourself in the hotel's WellCome Wellness spa? Relax in the sauna or book a well-deserved massage, swim in the indoor pool or work out in the well-equipped gym, and then after a good night's sleep, you get to do it all again!
