Westerpark is a gas – though not as literally as it was until a couple of decades ago. Fans of art cinema, late-night clubbers, street food gastronomes and families find plenty to like in this post-industrial neighbourhood. The former Westergasfabriek gasworks has been reinvented as a lively neighbourhood that combines new arts and entertainment venues with acres of green space. Visitors choosing one of the best hotels in Westerpark will discover restaurants, bars and live music spaces in and around the Westergas complex, which has quickly become one of Amsterdam's liveliest cultural hubs. For families, there are playgrounds, picnic areas and even pools where children can splash and paddle in summer, and for design lovers Het Schip Museum, celebrating the city's modernist era, is an eye opener. Pick one of the best hotels in Westerpark and you're within easy walking distance of the shops and restaurants of the Jordaan, and just a couple of tram stops from Centraal Station.
