Maison ELLE Amsterdam

Maison ELLE sits on a quiet residential street in Oud-West, minutes from the Vondelpark. The park is Amsterdam's favourite green space, busy with cyclists, joggers and picnics in summer. Oud-West itself has plenty of neighbourhood cafés and restaurants. Museumplein is a 20-minute walk away, and trams connect you easily to the canals and Centraal Station.

The hotel brings ELLE magazine's fashion-forward style to a 19th-century Amsterdam townhouse. Interiors are modern and warm, and a private garden gives it a relaxed, residential feel.

The rooms are polished and modern, with many overlooking the garden or opening onto a private terrace. The suite stands out, with a separate living area, a freestanding bathtub, and its own terrace.

There is no restaurant, but the hotel serves a good European breakfast each morning, with eggs, pastries, breads, cheeses, and fruit. Oud-West's cafés and restaurants are within easy walking distance.
