The College Hotel
"Conceived by Roc, Holland's most prestigious hotel school, this erst-while schoolhouse is a breath of fresh air. The entire ground floor is public space: To the left of the entrance is the chic reception desk, make of leather and mother-of-pearl, and to the right high-ceilinged hallways lead to a colorful bar with patterned-velvet chairs and couches and, beyond, an airy white-brick-and-glass dining room that was once the gymnasium. Very convenient to the #5 and #24 tram line.
The 40 rooms, with their flat screen TVs, glass showers, and black-lacquer doors and wardrobes, are sleek but cozy; the German manufacturer of their sensually soft sheets also makes shirts for Gucci and Prada. The service throughout is thoughtful and sincere." - from Conde Nast Traveler
Opened just last month, it is ideally situated near the Museumplein and blocks from the Stedelijk Museum, in the leafy and old-moneyed neighborhood of Oud Zuid. With the help of the local design firm FG Stilj, the ROC hotel school has transformed the high ceiling interiors of a landmatk brick school building into a sleek 40-room property with down comforters, flat-screen TV's and wireless Internet service. Even finicky locals are celebrating its airy white restaurant and the bar with cozt seating areas decorated in a warm palette of orange, red and lavendar.
