3-star hotels in and around Amsterdam

Staying in Amsterdam

Amsterdam rewards visitors who spend their days on the water and in the museums and their evenings in the smaller streets around them. The hotels on this list are not in the historic centre: their addresses place them in the wider province, in places such as Schagen, Medemblik, Heemskerk, Naarden and Bloemendaal, and along roads outside the city. That makes this shortlist best suited to travellers with a car or bike who want a quieter base and are happy to come into Amsterdam for the day.

Couples tend to do well here: the Inn on the Lake has a pool, spa, sauna, jacuzzi and massage, and Design B&B Naarden Vesting has a spa and jacuzzi of its own. Families have room to move too, with family rooms at the Inn on the Lake, Hotel Bleecker by BHC, Design B&B Naarden Vesting and B&B Habitat, plus a playground at the Inn on the Lake. Business travellers and short-break visitors will find the smaller addresses, Hotel Fase Fier eten en drinken among them, straightforward places to sleep and eat.
