Royal Palace on the Dam

The palace is situated on Dam Square in the centre of Amsterdam. It was originally built as the city hall for the burgomasters and magistrates of Amsterdam. The celebrated architect Jacob van Campen, who also had a hand in the building of Huis ten Bosch and Noordeinde in The Hague, took control of the project in 1648.

The entire building was constructed of white stone, though the weathering of the centuries has left none of it visible. On 20 July 1655, the burgomasters and the magistrates opened the first section.

  • de ligging was een pluspunt

  • wij zouden dt geen hotel noemen maar een jeugdherberg... voor de prijs van 153 euro/ nacht hadden wij véél meer verwacht. wij waren echt ontgoocheld. ook het ontbijt was nogal stresserend. vlug iets gaan halen want alles was steeds op! te weinig tafels ook voor het aantal personen die aanwezig waren in het hotel...
