AMSTERDAM HOTELS This page: locals had some second thoughts about the construction of Holland’s barmiest hotel to date 42JetAway
Going Dutch I’ve heard of rooms with a view before, but surely a hotel suite devoted to the opinions of Immanuel Kant is taking things a bit far? And yet that’s exactly what you’ll fi nd in room two of Amsterdam’s Hotel de Filosoof (00 31 20 68 33 013, www.sandton.eu/nl/amsterdam), or philosophy hotel, on the edge of the glorious Vondelpark. I’ve worn my most serious-looking blazer for the tour, led by assistant manager Ilse Jonker, and I’m taking care to look suitably refl ective as we pause in rooms inspired by, variously, Jean-Paul Sartre, Socrates and, er, China. China? “Some of the decorations are inspired by cultural styles rather than individuals,” explains Ilse, helpfully. No two of the 38 rooms in the 19th-century premises are alike… and, subject to availability, staff will try to match your temperament and interests to the decor and reading matter within. The artwork in the hallways poses existential J U N E / J U L Y With A Difference From an architectural pile-up to a beard-stroker’s paradise, Amsterdam has some weird and wonderful accommodation options, says Mark Smith questions – literally (“Is work really necessary?” asks one) – and a philosophical reading group has been meeting for over a decade in the bar on Thursday nights. It’s in Dutch, but beard-stroking looks the same in pretty much every language. Before leaving, I put a question of my own to Ilse: “If a philosophy hotel opens but it has no guests, is it still a hotel?” She smiles indulgently before replying: “Fortunately that’s not a problem we’ve come across. People just keep coming back for a new experience.” They might not be quite as established as, say, Confucius, but some pretty impressive thinkers have crossed the threshold of the Hotel Ambassade (00 31 20 55 50 222, www.ambassade-hotel.nl) Situated on the stately Herengracht canal, this hotel boasts some of the loveliest views in the city – if you can take your nose out of your book, that is.
