Hotel Amrâth

Photobucket

Part of the Amrâth Hotel, which is located on the Prins Hendrikkade, on a short walk from the Central Station.

The building represents an architectural tendency from the early 20th century called the 'Amsterdamse School'. Characteristic for the Amsterdamse School is the use of bricks as the principal construction material, and the decoration of façades with (again) bricks or natural stone.

Before this building was bought by a hotel keeper (in 2004), it was resident to several shipping companies, and later the local public transport company held office in it too.

  2. No creo, ni siquiera es tan conocido como el Hilton o el Amstel Hotel (del que debería sacarle una foto también alguna vez).
