Eden Amsterdam Manor Hotel

This massive brick building that was once a hospital where legendary footballer Johan Cruijff was born, was completely renovated and opened as a luxury hotel by the Eden Group in the summer of 2010. Given its historical significance to Amsterdam, much of the hotel has been decorated with the city’s iconic triple X symbol, including the carpets, the walls and even the duvets on the beds. Although the façade is a stark reminder of the building’s past, the interior and the 125 rooms within are completely modern and conform to the latest 21st-century design trends. Accommodation includes all of the luxurious amenities you would expect and the layout of the junior suites is often unique as most hotel rooms don’t place large, rotating flat screen TVs at the foot of their beds. An Italian restaurant, a bar and conference facilities are also available.
