Oud Zuid
College Hotel
Amsterdam, 1071 VE , Netherlands
Set inside a renovated, late-19th-century school, this stylish hotel blends well into its surrounding, fashionable neighborhood. Partially staffed by hospitality students, the property telegraphs a hip sophistication through its mellow lighting and sparse placement of colorful furnishings in the public spaces. The building's history is retained, though, in original touches like exposed brickwork and fireplaces. All 40 rooms and suites vary a bit, though white, downy bedding and long drapes set against light wood trim is common. The restaurant, located in what was once a gymnasium, serves fine Dutch cuisine, and cocktails can be enjoyed amongst the locals in the courtyard terrace.
Room to Book:
Consider upgrading from a superior to luxury room—the price difference is modest given the increase in room size and quality of the view.
Insider Tip:
Twice a year, the hotel hosts in-house events in league with Amsterdam's Fashion Week, which may or may not be a good thing based on your interests.
