That little door is the closet. The ceiling was very high and the paint treatment was cute. The poster on the wall is a Van Gogh. I give it 3 out of 5 stars. <br> </blockquote><p> The hotel can be had for around $250 a night.<p> <b>HotelChatter Tip:</b><br> If you want to try and add a star to your stay, try one of the canalside rooms, where you will look out over markj 2007-04-11T12:38:26-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/3/22/45427/2575 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/harbour_crane.jpg" class="imgborder"/><p>While you might've thought that staying underground or even underwater has the makings of being in an unusual hotel, you ain't seen nothin' yet! Think high above the harbour, think movable room, think breakfast delivered from below in a lift: and you've got the exclusive <a href="http://www.unusualhotelsoftheworld.com/HotelDetails.aspx?HotelID=5597&amp;ClassID=4&amp;src=home"><b>Crane Hotel</b></a> in Harlingen, just an hour from Amsterdam.</p><p>Yep, this is definitely one of the most unique hotels around, and sadly there's only one room of it. Inside the crane things are pretty luxurious, and you get fantastic views over the harbour. It's a bit of a squeeze getting in up the elevators, and they recommend packing just a small suitcase or soft bag if you want to get into your room amandak 2007-03-22T11:53:48-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/3/1/4927/83399 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/amsterdam_american_hotel.jpg" class="imgborder"/><p>We're already convinced <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Amsterdam%20Hotel%20Reviews">Amsterdam</a> is a great place to visit, but hearing about one more good experience and one more great hotel makes us, well, double-convinced. Blogger <a href="http://justindz.blogspot.com/">JustinDZ</a> spent his last stopover in the Dutch capital at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Amsterdam+American+Hotel/ian/106194"><b>Amsterdam American Hotel</b></a> and in his own quiet way raves about it in his blog:</p><blockquote><p> The Hotel American in Amsterdam is a very nice hotel. I recommend staying for more than one night and going to bed early enough to actually appreciate the room. [and later, summarising his whole trip] ... the fact remains that Amsterdam had nice waterways, a good public tram and the nicest hotel so far. Not the most expensive. Just the nicest.</blockquote></p><p>The American amandak 2007-03-01T10:50:24-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/1/22/134349/868 <![CDATA[<p><img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/amsterdam_movenpick.png" class="imgborder"><p>The Grey Lady headed over to Amsterdam to check out the new <a href="http://www.moevenpick-hotels.com/hotels/Amsterdam/welcome.htm"><b>M&#246;venpick Hotel</b></a> which opened this past September on Amsterdam's busy harbor. While the hotel has "City Centre" in its name, it's actually not quite in the center. It's near the Muziekgebouw Hall and is just a tram stop or two away from the real city center. You could also walk it in 10 minutes.<p>Despite this, the NY Times reviewer Gisela Williams likes what she sees:<blockquote><p>that is owned by a former ice cream company.

And is the Wittgenstein Suite available?<p> At Amsterdam's <a href="http://www.hotelfilosoof.nl"><b>Hotel de Filosoof</b></a>, or Philosophy Hotel, you can sleep with the big thinkers and big ideas. The hotel is comprised of three connected 19th century buildings, with a total of 38 rooms. It serves breakfast, is close to a tram stop, and a stroll through the nearby VondelPark will get you close to both the Rijksmuseum as well as the Van Gogh Museum.<p> But it's the rooms that are the annie0007 2006-12-27T08:50:02-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
