Hotel Die Port van Cleve details:
This classic Dutch hotel is located a 5-minute walk from Dam Square and offers free Wi-Fi. The bar has a unique Delft blue fresco dating from 1887.
Hotel Die Port van Cleve is situated in a monumental building, making each room distinctive in size and decorations. All rooms feature flat-screen TVs and are non-smoking.
Brasserie De Poort serves seasonal dishes and its steaks are well-known throughout the city. The Blauwe Parade Bar organizes traditional Dutch Jenever and liquor tastings on a regular basis.
From Hotel Die Port van Cleve, the Dam/Raadhuisstraat tram stop is a 2-minute walk away and offers direct access to Amsterdam Central Station and the Museumplein. The Anne Frank House is a 7-minute walk away.
The rich history of the hotel started on its location when G.A. Heineken opened his first Heineken brewery between 1864 and 1870. Due to the city council filling in the canal in front of the building in the name of modernisation, he moved to the present location on the Stadhouderskade.
The Hulscher brothers continued the business and on 5 September 1870 a unique beer house, called Die Port van Cleve, opened its doors. It did not take long for it to evolve from a beer house into restaurant with the De Poort brasserie serving typical Dutch dishes and what were to become the famous numbered steaks. Since 1870 these steaks have been served and in 1997 the magic number of 6,000,000 numbered and certificated steaks was reached.
Evolving from a beer house to a Dutch steakhouse, it was not long until the first rooms made the building the Die Port van Cleve hotel. The name Die Port van Cleve comes from a memorial stone with the inscription ‘Die Port van Cleve’ which was found during the takeover by the Hulscher brothers. Some unchanged features include the unique frontage, which has listed building status, and also the unique interior of De Blauwe Parade bar-bodega. The Delft blue tiles in the Bodega date back to 1887.
Location
The hotel is situated in a beautiful location, in the heart of the city, where you can really enjoy the real Dutch atmosphere. It is within walking distance of many shops, museums, theatres, places of interest, night spots and the many canals and the canal houses that Amsterdam is famous for.
Just in front of this 4-star hotel you will see the Royal Palace and Dam Square and it is next to the Magna Plaza shopping centre. There's much to explore in this area and the many streets leading away from the Dam can take you to every part of the city. You can shop until you drop on the Rokin or at the Kalverstraat, but a more hip area is the Damstraat with loads of coffee shops and hippie stores.
The hotel is only a 15 minute walk to the famous Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein where there is entertainment 24 hours a day. The area behind the shopping centre, the Bijenkorf, leads into the red light district. While a wander around the Nieuwe Kerk along curving alleyways will lead you to some pleasant restaurants, bars and more coffee shops.

Dining
In De Poort brasserie (seats up to 130 people) you can enjoy a combination of traditional Dutch and international cuisine. For all of the dishes served, the restaurant uses as much produce from Amsterdam as possible. The unique ‘no-nonsense’ style of the executive chef creates a pure culinary adventure.
Get the real Dutch feeling in De Blauwe Parade bar, surrounded by genuine Delft blue and white tiles. Here you can enjoy a drink, a jenever (the traditional Dutch gin-like drink) and Dutch liquor tasting. The bar is also a great place for an informal diner.
In the peaceful and modern De Hooiberg corner bar you can watch people pass by. Here staff will gladly welcome you for a coffee, appetizer or a digestive.

Posted: Jan 30, 2011 - Bought low cost flights and just turned up - walked all the way around Amsterdam - as January is the low season we were bound to find cheap good accommodation and definately found it here - 200 Euros for four nights between us - brilliant! The location of this hotel is excellent - right next to Dam Square - excellent - really close to everything you want to see! Hotel was clean/excellent location and good value for money -staff were friendly too. One piece of advice - when you get out of the main train station in Amsterdam - walk over the bridge - don't go left after the bridge looking for hotels (left = red light district (no nice hotels in there)). Come out of the station and walk straight over the bridge and keep going straight after 5 minutes walk - you get to Dam Square - then find a hotel - there are lots of them to choose from. Should definatetly try eating in the hotel restaurant once - try the steak it is excellent.. Read review
