Inntel Hotels Amsterdam Zaandam

The place

It is Zaandam's most photographed building: the façade is almost seventy Zaan wooden houses, in four shades of green, stacked one on top of another. Inside, a four-star hotel with rooms decorated with nods to the region's history, a wellness club with a pool and the Puur Saen restaurant.

Who it is for

For those who want to sleep outside Amsterdam, paying less and a step from the train: it is beside Zaandam station, a few minutes from Amsterdam Centraal and one stop from Zaandijk Zaanse Schans. With children, the indoor pool is a good end to the day of windmills.
