Hilton Amsterdam

About Hilton Amsterdam

Hilton Amsterdam is an ideal location for both the business and leisure traveller situated in one of the most exclusive areas in the city - indeed in the Netherlands. The hotel has in it's neighbourhood the most exclusive shopping streets in Amsterdam and the commercial and financial center of the city are closeby. The hotel borders on a canal and overlooks it's own garden and Marina which is filled in the summer with beautiful antique wooden boats. The Hilton Amsterdam opened in 1962, being the first international Hilton Hotel in Europe and the first international hotel in The Netherlands. Designed in 1958 by the Dutch architect Maaskant, its structure continued along the same lines of Berlage's earlier ideas. The hotel's characteristic V-shape is significant as it shows where the two main avenues of Amsterdam meet, the Apollolaan and the Minervalaan.
