We're already convinced Amsterdam is a great place to visit, but hearing about one more good experience and one more great hotel makes us, well, double-convinced. Blogger JustinDZ spent his last stopover in the Dutch capital at the Amsterdam American Hotel and in his own quiet way raves about it in his blog:

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.

The American clearly does have a few things going for it, not least its central location on the Leidseplein and near to the Van Gogh Museum and shopping areas. Our up-to-the-minute news is that they're just finishing some refurbishment, with a little more work still to do:

Following our stunning renovation of the Café Americain and 101 hotel rooms (finished March 2007) the next stage of our plan will involve the renovation of the façade of the hotel. As from Monday 12 February 2007 till the end of September 2007 we will be renovating the façade/front of the hotel. This to bring the building back to its historical Art Nouveau monument.

So you can stay in an architecturally significant building (although for Europe its relatively young, having been built in 1900), get around Amsterdam easily and chatting with all those friendly Dutch.

Hemp Hotel Wants You

The Hemp Hotel is located near both the Heineken Brewery and the Albert Cuypstraat market in Amsterdam, oh, and go figure, this little hotel promotes hemp products. If you are looking for the ideal place to give in to Amsterdam's stereotypical image this may be it. Hemp beer, hemp ice cream, hemp seeds, hemp breakfasts, you get the picture.

If you stay here you will only pay ~70€ for a double room with a private shower, however, as one review put it, "don't expect the Holiday Inn". That should sufficiently set your expectations. If you don't stay the night you can always just saunter over during the day and check the place out.

Oh, and if you think the Hemp Hotel is too small and in need of renovations, why don't you stop complaining about it online and actually help a hippie out? Invest in the Hemp Hotel. That's right, the Hemp Hotel is looking to expand by purchasing a larger building. The hotel is offering potential investors 7% interest a year and repayment of the original amount in ten years (10% each year). The details are on the hotel web site (scroll down). Your career as a hemp hotelier is only a click away.
