The largest of 28 historic bridge houses around the city that have been transformed into hotel suites by a team of architects, designers and builders, this three-storey house is a short walk from some of Amsterdam Noord's bars, restaurants and cafes, and overlooks the boats bobbing in the Noordhollandsch Kanaal. The interior pops with bright colours and comes equipped with everything you need.
