Amsterdam's unique city centre is renowned world-wide for its beauty and charm. Its famous canals, flanked by 17th century merchants houses, are a very special feature of Amsterdam and a feast for the eye all times of the year. The Herengracht (or Gentlemen's Canal) was originally dug in 1614 as a site for wealthy Amsterdammers to build their imposing houses in which they lived and conducted their business. More than three centuries later, the Hotel Ambassade was founded in one of these houses. Over the years the hotel has been considerately expanded, and now boasts a total of 59 rooms in 10 canalside houses. In these historic surroundings, guests can enjoy a stylish and personal service that the Ambassade has made all its own. Hotel Ambassade is privately owned and it offers all the advantages of this modern age but with the valuable heritage of a bygone era.
The Hotel is just 25 minutes by train or taxi from Schiphol Airport, and the beauty of the city's canals are immediately beyond the door of the hotel. The riches of its museums, its luxury shopping streets, the famous canalside flower market, well-known diamond merchants and antique shops together with innumerable other attractions are just minutes away from the hotel.
The different structures and designs of these centuries-old houses mean that no two rooms are alike, something that is emphasized by the hotel's decor. Each room is decorated in a different colour scheme but all without exception are intimate, full of atmosphere and provide every modern comfort.
The hotel's two beautifully decorated lounges with their antique furniture, clocks and paintings, take you back through the centuries, and a traditional and extensive Dutch breakfast is served in the classic breakfast room with views over the Herengracht. An efficient service means that you will be assured of an enjoyable start to your day!
