The Happier the Hotelier, The Happier the Guest
In May Job Cohen, the mayor of Amsterdam has officially opened the totally renovated Eden Rembrandt Square Hotel. It has a 4 star Dutch hotel classification and 166 rooms and suites. Brasserie Flo is its restaurant, which shortly after its opening got high notes from Johannes van Dam, the Amsterdam restaurant reviewer. The dark brown/light blue color scheme of the rooms is very trendy, indeed.
Vollenhove is world famous for its Royal Huisman shipyard where the world’s largest schooners (the photo is of one of them, Athena, built by Royal Huisman) and cutters are being built and/or refit.
The Vintagegroup offered accomodation in “Stadshavezate Plattenburg” (a sort of city palace) in Vollenhove in combination with a vintage Triumph or Lotus, or a vintage 1955 Van der Stadt design mahogony yacht. They also offered an oportunity to buy antique.
Update: It seems they are not in business anymore.

»Bourgogne Suite(s?) in Maastricht offers 4 suites. They opened end 2005 and are opulently decorated. They don’t offer cabrio’s, new nor vintage, but have a motoryacht available to sightsee and potter over the Maas river.
Thanks to Marlies of »Vakantiehuis Blogo I now know there are more promotions of sleeping and touring is an unusual car:
B&B »Lodewijk XV (yes, Louis the fifteenth) offers a bed in combination with a day’s driving a classic MG TD of 1953 or a MG TF of 1955 (see photo).
More and more hotel rooms and suites can be bid for on auction sites. Her is a link to »Luxury Links where you can place a bid on very expensive suites and rooms (or simply very up market properties). Block popups in your browser, because otherwise you get too many of those pop- eh hickups!
