Hotel Estheréa

The place

Several 17th-century canal houses joined together on the Singel, the first canal of the ring, turned into a four-star hotel by the same family, who started with a twelve-room guesthouse more than eighty years ago. Today it has 91 rooms and two suites, no two alike: patterned fabrics, chandeliers, strong colours. There is a library, a bar open 24 hours and a lounge overlooking the canal.

The rooms

As the building is historic, sizes vary a lot: the Classic rooms start at 13 m² and the Luxury ones are about 20 m². All have air conditioning and are reached by lift, something quite unusual in canal houses. If you are travelling as a family, ask about the suites.

How to get there and park

It is five minutes on foot from Dam Square and fifteen from Central Station. If you come by car, it has its own underground car park for €55 a day, with the entrance at Spuistraat 258.
