A 19th century canal house at Prinsengracht, close to Leidsestraat – a busy commercial street leading to Leidseplein, one of the entertainment centers of Amsterdam. Inside - a quiet, elegant and very traditional residence. Only five luxurious suites, each of them named after a famous writer (Goethe, Shakespeare, Tolkien), painter (Picasso) or composer (Liszt, Mahler, Schubert) and two rooms (Mahler, Room at the Top); each of them in different colors, beautifully decorated. Seven One Seven is more an up-market guest house, than a hotel. It attracts its visitors with the conventional, affluent and warm interior. It also has a dining room (called Stravinsky), salon and a library – all in soft colors, comfortable, traditional. Nobody heard about the minimalism here. Peace, luxury, relaxation. In summer, you may sit in a small but charming patio.
Seven One Seven offers its guests a tranquil place in one of the busiest spots in Amsterdam. You will have only three minutes walking distance to Leidseplein with all its cafés, restaurants, casino and many night clubs; within ten minutes you will reach the Rijksmuseum and Spiegelgracht, with countless antique shops. Most fashionable street in town - P.C.Hooftstraat also near – 10 minutes walking at most, while Vondelpark is even closer. Walking Leidsestraat another direction, you will have the commercial heart of Amsterdam – Kalverstraat, Kalvertoren and a step further – the Dam square with Bijenkorf. Strolling along Prinsengracht you will reachAnne Frank House within 15 minutes.
Staying at Seven One Seven you may walk everywhere you want and return several times to your room during the day, to have some rest, But there are trade offs for this unique location – some of the noises of the big city may reach you in your room, even on the most quiet night. The old building of Seven One Seven has big traditional windows and an old-fashioned structure. This house lives with the city around it. Seven One Seven makes it up with its service – 24h front desk, bellboy, complimentary afternoon tea, complimentary wine. The private diners are prepared by a known Dutch chef Roland Veldhuyzen from Tante Koosje (Aunt Koosje), the restaurant with one Michelin star.
Seven One Seven has no lift, therefore is not suited for the handicapped or elderly people. No air-conditioning.
