Nestled in one of the city’s most elegant residential areas, Apollofirst Boutique Hotel offers the perfect balance of peace and proximity. Step outside and within minutes you’ll find the world-famous Museum Quarter with the Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum, or take a stroll through the leafy Vondelpark straight into the city center.
Beyond the landmarks, this neighborhood is also home to some of Amsterdam’s best hidden-gem restaurants and cafés—local favorites we’re happy to share with you. From French brasseries to authentic Italian trattorias, you’ll be spoiled for choice just around the corner. And since Amsterdam is always buzzing, our team can help with recommendations or even make reservations in advance.
