( 4 stars , Amsterdam , Netherlands )

The hotel is housed in a monumental 18th Century building, proclaiming a rich history, being built in the first brewery of Heineken, but enhanced with all the modern requirements you seek. Welcome to Hotel Brasserie Bodega 'Die Port van Cleve', a 4 star hotel perfectly located in the heart of Amsterdam behind the Royal Palace on the Dam Square. After the major renovation 'Die Port van Cleve' was reopened by Mr. A.H. Heineken, grandson of Mr. G. A. Heineken - who founded the Heineken company on the spot where 'Die Port van Cleve' is located now. On the 5th of September 1870 in Amsterdam 'Die Port van Cleve' opened its doors. The name of 'Die Port van Cleve' originates from the previous building on the same spot 'Het huis te Kleef' dating from 1592 in which Heineken brewed his first beer. The unique interior was put up with oak and original Delft blue tiles representing children playing adults in a parade. This performance was inspired by historical parades from the 'Golden century'. This interior with all its marvellous decorations is still available in all its glory.
