The Lancaster Amsterdam

Boutique hotel in a monumental building

The Lancaster is situated in a stunning monumental building dating back to the 19th century. In 2018, the hotel was expanded by 30 brand new rooms and our new ARTIS-inspired lounge, and a local gem from day one onwards. De Plantage is a pleasant, quiet and green neighbourhood, yet only a short walk away from the famous canals and and historical centre of the city. Are you looking for a cosy and cheerful room, a family room or a beautiful, spacious room for a romantic weekend? We’ve got exactly what you need!

Friendly staff, hot rooms.

Lovely hotel and staff. Very accommodating when asked for advice on travel and when we needed extra water. Beds were comfy but very hot in the room as we were there during a heat wave which the hotel was not prepared for. Breakfast was nice but limited cooked choices.

Fab base for visiting Amsterdam

My friend and I have just enjoyed a long weekend in Amsterdam, basing ourselves from the Lancaster Hotel. For us, the location was brilliant - approx 15-20min walk to the centre, in a lovely neighbourhood and really helpful staff. There are eateries close by, including a fab ice cream shop, and the zoo opposite was a bit of a treat. The hotel room we booked was comfortable, clean and had most things we needed to enjoy our stay. Like others, we did struggle with the lack of air con but had overlooked this when booking (we happened to be there on a super hot weekend too but were grateful for the portable fan). Overall we’d return again if ever back in Amsterdam and would recommend to others.

Good hotel and location for my business trip

Good location, very nice hotel. Good Breakfast. Bed and room were very comfortable. NB for summer guests - my room was not air conditioned but a fan was provided.
