Hotel Arena Amsterdam

Overlooking dreamy Oosterpark, this once upon a time orphanage is now an exquisite and inspiring blend of olden times and contemporary Dutch minimalism. The high ceilings, wooden beams and cast-iron rails remain from the original building. The glass-walled PARK Café restaurant, modern decor, and inspiring meeting studios lend the property its thoroughly modern feel. The on-site chapel is adapted and transformed to create unforgettable events that often bring locals and guests together, as do the hotel's common areas purposefully designed to elicit conversation and connection.
