Eden American Hotel Amsterdam

Winner of the Dutch Hotel Award 2008, Eden Amterdam American Hotel offers guests the chance to stay in style on Amsterdam's famous Leidseplein. While the hotel may not suit the budget of many travellers, those who can afford to spend a bit extra should consider this Art Noveau monument as a place to lay their heads in the city centre. Built in 1900, the hotel's rich history has included playing host to the famous spy Mata Hari's honeymoon.

Entrance to Eden Amsterdam American Hotel can be gained from the door just around the corner of the building, facing the canal, or via the restaurant entrance behind the fountain.

Dining
The hotel's Café Americain offers international dishes and a very classy atmosphere. You can choose to eat inside or grab a bite while relaxing on the large terrace overlooking Leidseplein.
