Banks Mansion – All Inclusive Hotel

Banks Mansion hotel is a four star Art Deco hotel at a perfect location within the canal district of the historic city center of Amsterdam. The warm interior design is influenced by the styles of the Dutch architect Berlage as well as the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

The hotel is near several attractions popular among the locals of Amsterdam, including The Dutch National Opera & Ballet, the Pathé Tuschinski cinema, the Rembrandt square and the Flower Market. The Rembrandt Square is a popular restaurant and nightlife area in Amsterdam, making this hotel perfect for an evening stroll. While the street of the hotel itself leads to two popular shopping squares, the Spui Square and the Koningsplein, which connect several popular shopping streets of Amsterdam.

What makes this hotel special compared to other boutique hotels is not only that it is housed in a former bank building, but also that almost all services that the hotel offers are included in the price of the rooms. Some examples of things included in the price are the extensive breakfast buffet, which of course include everything you need from pancakes to eggs, the drinks and snacks in the lobby area which are available 24 hours a day, the drinks from the minibar, the use of decanters with whiskey, cognac & gin and the Dutch and French cheese tastings between 5 pm to 7 pm. The hotel wants their guests to feel themselves more at home with this unique concept.

There are different types of rooms, but they all have air conditioning, free WiFi, free use of the Nespresso machine, a flatscreen television with films and sports channels and the bathrooms have a rainshower (and some even a bathtub). So you can be sure to all your needs are catered.

Of course as tourists guides ourselves we couldn’t help but the quiz the staff of the hotel. And the results were quite good. The professional staff of Banks Mansion is very willing to help you with your requests and has a great knowledge about the best places to visit in Amsterdam.
