Cubicle Dreamin': Amsterdam's Grand New Hotel

Where: Prins Hendrikkade 108-114, Amsterdam, Netherlands, 1011

Cubicle Dreamin' is a feature in which we ask the hotel mavens to take some time out of their busy work day, surf the Internet, and tell us what hotel they wish they could beam themselves to right that very second--all on the slave driving companies dime, of course. Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope. Have a destination hotel you are just dying to leave your cube for? Send the story our way.

In this episode, Hotel Maven Amanda K goes to Amsterdam in her mind. Enjoy.

I caught a travel show segment on TV this week promoting Amsterdam as an interesting destination (and not just for the gals or the drugs!). No, there's also canal tours, cool museums like the Anne Frank House, and (at the right time of year) tulips everywhere!

A couple of years ago I was there for just two days and I'd love to get back there: and now there's a new 5-star hotel just waiting for me. The Grand Hotel Amrath opened in early June and is located inside a 1913 shipping office, only 500 meters from Amsterdam's Central Station.

What I love even more than the location or the building is the quaint English on the website (I thought the Dutch were better linguists than this):

Most welcome in the newest five star deluxe hotel in Amsterdam, situated in the city centre, the Grand Hotel Amrâth Amsterdam with 163 spacious and high hotel rooms and large suites provided with all up to date comfort. You will expose yourself in A World of Luxury and Art. We composed a very attractive opening offer for you.

They have opening rates of €235 per night in July and August (but busy September is already being billed at €330), so I guess I should get there fast so I can expose myself in the Grand Hotel Amrath's luxury world.
