The Highland House | Hotel in Burgwallen Nieuwe Zijde, Amsterdam

The Highland House is a Hotel in Burgwallen Nieuwe Zijde, set in central Amsterdam with Beurs van Berlage, Dam Square, and the Royal Palace close by. De Jordaan and the Anne Frank House are also nearby, giving you an address that keeps the city’s most recognizable sights within an easy walking rhythm. Amsterdam Central Train Station is a short walk away, and a tram stop nearby adds another simple way to move around the city.

Inside, each room is uniquely themed and named, bringing a little character to the stay without losing the practical details that matter. Free WiFi runs throughout the property, and rooms include a fridge, coffee or tea making facilities, and a flat-screen TV with cable channels. Air conditioning and heating help the space stay comfortable across seasons, while soundproof rooms and non-smoking rooms support a quieter return after time in the city. Family rooms are available, and some features may vary by room.

The building itself adds to the experience. The Highland House sits in a monumental 17th century structure, so some floors have the kind of characteristic Amsterdam steps you will want to plan for. There is no elevator, and luggage storage is available for early arrivals. Breakfast is served at the sister hotel, The Highlander Hotel, at a discounted rate, and an airport shuttle can be arranged for an additional fee. From Burgwallen Nieuwe Zijde, the stay feels compact, practical, and closely connected to the city around it.
