Cronache di Amsterdam

Amsterdam, founded in 1275 by Count Floris V, has evolved from a humble trading post to a thriving cultural and economic hub. The city's architecture reflects its rich history, with numerous examples of medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque styles on display. The Jordaan neighbourhood, where De Roode Leeuw is located, is a charming example of Amsterdam's evolution, with its narrow streets and picturesque canals. Today, Amsterdam is a cosmopolitan city, celebrated for its liberal attitude, artistic heritage, and world-class museums. The city's Rijksmuseum, Vondelpark, and Anne Frank House are just a few of the many iconic landmarks that draw millions of visitors each year.

Before you check in to De Roode Leeuw, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
