Hotel Arena

The Hotel Arena in Amsterdam is a modern property occupying a former late 19th century orphanage set within the laid-back Oosterpark district, one kilometre from the central train station.

The 127 guestrooms feature minimalist décor with stark white walls, wooden floors, and modern furniture. All include televisions with pay movies, Internet connections (fee), and telephones.

Bold tones and imaginative lighting set the tone in the bar at the Arena, where guests can enjoy breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, as well as drinks throughout the day.

The work of renowned Dutch designer Ronald Hoofd is evident in the modern restaurant, which serves Dutch specialties and international dishes. When the weather is warm in Amsterdam, a terrace is open for al fresco dining.

The Hotel Arena, Amsterdam, has an onsite nightclub, featuring international DJs and live acts, where guests can dance the night away.

Practical amenities of the hotel include a 24-hour front desk, pay parking, and well-equipped meeting rooms. Guests can use the wireless Internet access to plan their sightseeing public or ask the multilingual staff for local and tourist information.

The hotel is well located for visiting the city's top attractions: Dam square, the Red Light district, and the museums district are all within three kilometres of the hotel.

Schiphol Airport is approximately 13 kilometres away, at an approximate driving time of 30 minutes. There is a railway station in the terminal's central hall, under Schiphol Plaza; direct trains run to the central station approximately every 15 minutes. From there, take the metro to Weesperplein, the nearest stop to the hotel. Trams 9 and 14 pass through the central station and stop near the hotel. The easiest way to get around the city is on the trams.
