DoubleTree by Hilton Amsterdam Centraal Station, hotel in Amsterdam, Netherlands
The DoubleTree by Hilton Amsterdam Centraal Station is a tall hotel with a blue glass facade located directly beside the main train station in Amsterdam. The building contains a restaurant, a cafe, a fitness center, and a rooftop bar called SkyLounge that looks out over the IJ waterway.
The hotel was built in the early 2000s as part of a broader effort to modernize the area around Amsterdam Centraal Station. At that time, the city invested in transforming the station district into a more welcoming gateway for international travelers.
The SkyLounge on the top floor draws both visitors and locals who come for a drink with a view over the IJ waterway and the rooftops of Amsterdam. It is one of the few places in the city center where you can see the water and the old town side by side from above.
The hotel sits right next to Amsterdam Centraal Station, which connects to trams, buses, and trains heading across the city and to Schiphol Airport. Bicycles are available to rent on site for those who prefer to explore the canal neighborhoods at a slower pace.
Every guest who checks in receives a warm chocolate chip cookie, a tradition that the DoubleTree brand maintains at all its properties around the world. The recipe for this cookie is kept secret by the company and has its own devoted following among repeat visitors.
