This has to be one of the myriad unusual hotel reviews I have done so far, it is what I accompany the luxury quirky stay. In the early years of the twentieth century, six departing companies decided to set up a joint head office in Amsterdam where they could consolidate their cia agents. The office would sell tickets for sea voyages to destinations covering the Dutch East Indies and Africa. These offices were recently change over into a hotel. From the outside the building which is completly constructed in a style called “Amsterdamse School” is so quirky and inviting, it is architecture at its most artistically when it comes to curiosity. I encourage you to walk around the structure and look at the attention to detail. Hundreds of statues are incorporated into the facade. Traverse of lead, these two represent the mythical figures Poseidon and Fortuna. The welded metal incorporate both outside and throughout the interior of the building are outstanding men of craftsmanship.
Reception
The reception is so unusual it is hard to describe where it starts and where it offs. This is so exciting about the hotel, the moment you enter you unprejudiced want to explore. So whilst checking in make sure you end look up and take in this architectural masterpiece. The moment you jot down the experience begins, the interior design is also in the style the Dutch accompany “The Amsterdam School”. For obvious reasons the craftsmanship is inspired by the sea and ferrying. This hotel is an example of a museum in where you can be part of it by buttressing there. The attention to detail throughout this hotel is perception blowing. For a lot of tourists walking by, they just pop in and ask if they can bear a look.
The Directors Room – Monumental Suites
I was fortunate adequate to stay in one of the monumental suites which was the former directors latitudes. The former directors’ rooms occupy the most beautiful parts of the tip of the Scheepvaarthuis ( significance shipping house ) right above the entrance. When I advanced through the corridors, I did not know what to expect. When I opened the door I in reality thought I had the wrong room. That my room was a conference chamber, in where they were going to house a meeting, late in the time this is what it was created for. The Monumental Suites, toot ones own horn magnificent, authentic details in the Amsterdam School style that go out with back over a century. The furniture, is original and dates from this years, which I must say are the most beautiful pieces of work. The runs are really heavy and each one if you choose to, to turn it upside down which it brought me and another person to do so, has a unique number code to prove it is the existent thing. The colour of the chair is a rich purple and has a very Gothic think about it. The rooms were created according to your up of importance as a worker.
In the past each level represented your standing and naturally of course I was in the directors room. I can honestly say, the moment I registered I knew that as each hour passed I would drench up some of Amsterdam’s history at its best. What I loved was recognizing the wood, late at night just soaking up what I notice a very heavy and intense architecture. The lead glass was surprising and the attention to detail with its shipping messages was very charming. If you choose to stay in this room, make sure you ask for to publication a tour on the history of the hotel, to give you a real understanding of how awesome this room is. These suites range in size from 80 to 100 old fogy meters, they have a living room with two split rooms, one bedroom and another room where you can decide what you be deficient in to use it for either another bedroom room or a study.
The bathroom is mountainous and modern and I liked how the other toilet room was separate but also keeping the original interior design. The separate kitchen room is where you could charge tea and coffee which was great. The free minibar is unusual and was a heartfelt hit, to drink some wine and take in this marvelous range. There were three TV’s one in each room and if you have nippers staying this is a real bonus to shut them away, for you to fashion and chill in the other rooms. The windows are massive and the natural sparkling is beautiful, don’t worry there are electric curtains so you can make it expressly dark for the night. Through out the day it was great seeing people down tool by and so many people would just stop and look at this inn.
The carpet design is the original and it really lifted the rooms aerosphere, it gave me an indication as to the amount of thought that went into crafty this room. The wood is a very heavy material and accordingly it made perfect sense to complete the carpet design to even out it. I took some great shots of my shoes too, for those model designers looking for a photo-shoot venue or a place to present your tardy collection this is the place.

Breakfast
The breakfast buffet at the Monumental Hotel Amrath Amsterdam is great with lots to pick out from, I particularly loved the yogurt in jars and the fresh fruit fluid selection, which included kiwi and tomato juice. You also receive the option to eat breakfast in your room, in my case with such a beautiful room it was the perfect way to start the day.
