Description: Housed in a 19th century school, this smart Amsterdam hotel is an elegant and stylish place to lay your head. In keeping with the building's previous incarnation as an educational establishment, the hotel is affiliated to a top Amsterdam Hotel Management School and the bulk of the day to day running of the place is done by students. This has no impact on the hotel's standards, in fact everything is done under the supervision of people at the top of their professions, and the College Hotel has a pleasantly youthful vibe as a result. The intimate lounge bar, with its dark, warm walls and black oak floors, is popular with stylish locals and specialises in Dutch cocktails with ingredients such as cinnamon and apple.
