What began in the 19th century as a coffee house on the Warmoesstraat expanded over time into the massive hotel you see now on the Dam. Due to its age and historic significance, the Krasnapolsky hasn’t conformed to the modern NH hotel group style and many of its 468 rooms have retained some elements of their old world elegance. That said, most of the accommodation includes huge flat screen TVs and king size beds and the rooms in the new wing have a more contemporary look. The hotel also offers restaurants and bars, fitness and business centres, ice machines on each floor and valet parking and you can also have breakfast in the spectacular Winter Garden atrium where Dutch royalty have held their wedding receptions.
