The busiest (and often most touristy) parts of Amsterdam tend to be places we avoid at all costs. And while you’ll never find us barreling through the flower market or queueing at Madame Tussaud’s, you almost certainly might spot us heading down the Rokin on our way to the charming Bar du Champagne. This small cellar bar serves excellent Champagnes and churns out masterful small bites – just what we’ve missed all along.

Are we ok with a little self-promotion? Yeahhhhh, we think so. Especially since we’re convinced our suite at Hotel de L’Europe is probably the coolest place to kip in all of Amsterdam. Explore everything the city has to offer with both our out-of-suite experiences (think: a tip treasure hunt around town) and in-suite amenities in stunning Suite 152.

Named after Alfred Heineken, Freddy's Bar in De L'Europe is the perfect spot for an aperitif or digestif. From a classic biertje to the signature 'Dam Square', sip away on your tipple of choice whilst listening to some live jazz.
