Fodor's Expert Review INK Hotel Amsterdam MGallery by Sofitel
Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 67, Amsterdam, North Holland, 1012 RE, Netherlands
Located on what was once Amsterdam’s "Fleet Street," in the former office and printing house of De Tijd (The Times) newspaper, this chic and lively place plays up the concept to the hilt, resulting in a playfully appealing hotel unlike any other in town. Here you'll check in at a printer's desk surrounded by oversize letterpress type; dine in the PRESSROOM restaurant and bar, lined with rolls of printing paper; and order from a room service menu printed like a newspaper. Rooms reflect the same sleek feel of the entranceway with soothing gray decor and walls adorned with fun black-and-white city maps. Executive and higher-level rooms include complimentary minibars, and unlike many Amsterdam hotels, both the fitness room and room service are available 24 hours a day. Although the hotel's street isn't very charming, the Canal Ring and Dam Square are only a short stroll away.
