Christmas Holidays in Best Western Amsterdam
Celebrate Christmas, explore iconic sights and relax in cozy rooms
Why we love it
The setting
Best Western Amsterdam sits in the New West district, a short tram ride from the city centre and close to the A10 ring road. The area is quieter than the canal belt, which suits travellers who want a calm base after a long day out. Trams and buses run from nearby stops, so getting to the museums and shops takes about 20 minutes. There is on-site parking too, handy if you arrive by car for the New Year break.
What to expect
The hotel has 214 rooms across five floors, with comfortable double rooms that work well for two. Breakfast is not part of the standard rate but can be added for a small charge, served in the dining room each morning. Downstairs there is a bar and a lounge with seating, plus a games area to wind down in the evening. Rooms are simply furnished with a desk, kettle and good blackout curtains for a proper lie-in over the holidays.
Things to do nearby
Amsterdam's main sights are an easy hop away. Vondelpark is 2.3 km off, good for a winter walk, and the Stedelijk Museum sits at 2.7 km. The Van Gogh Museum is 2.9 km away and the Rijksmuseum 3.2 km, both worth booking ahead in the festive season. The Anne Frank House is around 4 km from the door. With three nights you have time to pace these out rather than rush them.
Best for
Couples who want a value base for a New Year city break, with parking and a quiet night's sleep away from the crowds, then easy transport to the museums by day.

What is the best area to stay in Amsterdam?
