West of the Singel canal ring and around 1km from Centraal Station, the Jordaan began life as a neighbourhood of workers' homes, small factories and workshops, which lured artists and bohemians in the 1960s and '70s. In the 21st century, it has gone upscale, with trendy shops and galleries interspersed with smart cafés and wine bars. But it still has a certain funky vibe. Traditional 'brown cafés' and charming old hofjes (almshouses) are typical of this part of town. The prime landmark is the towering 17th-century Noorderkerk, while the labyrinthine Antiekcentrum Amsterdam is an antique hunter's joy. Our collection of the best hotels in Jordaan has something for everyone, whether you are looking for a romantic hideaway, a self-catering apartment, an atmospheric boutique hotel, or a luxurious five-star property. Browse through our list to start planning your next getaway.
