Address: Leidsekade 97 , Amsterdam 1017 PN, Netherlands Show on map
You simply cannot get any closer to the action than the American; six storeys facing Leidseplein and a 1900 art nouveau landmark in its own right. Inside is a mixture of art deco and contemporary furnishings.A hotel with over 20 rooms is considered big in Amsterdam, so at 175 rooms the American feels as big as Texas (but nicer, much nicer). Choose from rooms with colourful contemporary or more muted deco-inspired interiors. A gym with sauna is also available. Big-city hotel benefits like air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs and a business centre are included. Splash out in the Mata Hari suite, where the famed spy actually spent her honeymoon. The concierge can arrange everything from theatre and concert tickets to bicycle rental. Even if you're just passing by, take a whirl through the always busy lobby, or visit the artful splendour of the Café Américain for a glorious breakfast or elegant coffee.

In addition to Leidseplein, you're within easy reach of the shopping of PC Hooftstraat, with Amsterdam's tippity-top-end fashion shops. Just beyond are the museums and concert halls around Museumplein.
Leidseplein was originally at the edge of the city, demarcated by the Singelgracht just to the right of the hotel. It marked the beginning (or the end if you prefer) of the road to the university town of Leiden.
