LLOYD HOTEL & CULTURAL EMBASSY

DESCRIPTION

• Rooms : 117, Art and culture, Library, Soundproof music room, Restaurant, Bar, Terrace.

• The Lloyd Hotel, situated in the heart of Amsterdam’s Oostelijk Havengebied (Eastern Harbour Area), is innovative in every way. The listed national monument, dating from 1921, has been converted into a hotel, and is now a true showcase for Dutch architecture and design.

• All rooms in the Lloyd Hotel – ranging from one to five "stars" – offer a different experience. These entail a difference in design, surface area and therefore rate. Much attention has been given to the interior of the rooms. A number of exciting Dutch Designers (Claudy Jongstra, Hella Jongerius, De Bazel, Marcel Wanders, Richard Hutten, to name but a few) have created several of the furniture pieces. The hotel has a restaurant – called Snel (best translated as "brisk") – a recording studio, a nomadic library and some rooms with a kitchen for the use of those hotel guests who prefer to cook for their own visitors. Eating and drinking in Lloyd Hotel is about good ingredients and a simple way of treating them.

• The Lloyd Hotel is very well situated: it is near the city centre (direct public transport connections) and access from the ring-road is easy. The hotel has parking facilities of its own in a parking garage. There's also plenty of space in front of the hotel if you're interested in getting there by boat.
