"It’s no small distinction, being the oldest hotel in one of the largest cities in Europe. Amsterdam was founded in the 14th century, and the 300-year-old building that’s now the Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam Doelen has had its doors open to overnight guests for a substantial part of that history. It’s true, of course, in hotels and in life, that you can’t have everything. You can’t have history and culture and location — the brick building is even older than the hotel, with an enviable address on the edge of the Kloveniersburgwal canal in the heart of the historic center — and also have huge suites with picture windows and Jacuzzi tubs." - Tablet Hotels
