| The hotel features an Italian restaurant in which you can have an informal dinner. Kalverstraat, the main shopping street, is close by, only 2 minutes away on foot. There are many touring boats across the street from the hotel; so it will be easy for you to go on a tour of the famous canals if you so desire. Also in the neighborhood are many typical "brown cafés." Their dark brown interiors are full of character, and they are popular stops for a "pilsje" (drought beer), a "jenever" (Dutch gin) and a plate of raw herring of fried mussels. |
