It is a lovely place, and my blue and white windmill sits in a place of honor on my office terminal.

For a nice lunch, try the amsterdam croquettes washed down with a Grolsch in the bar-restaurant downstairs (the one at canal-level, not the glassed-in place).

My confession: I took home nothing from the maxi/mini bar, raided it only once during my stay, and still had a fantastic time at the hotel.

Good grief that shower is heavenly -- like standing in a pouring rain, but you get to control the temperature.

Tot ziens...
