1. Zoku Amsterdam – creative lofts on the canal belt
Zoku Amsterdam is an apartment style hotel with a creative, homely feel. It is popular with digital nomads, couples and city break travellers who want more than a standard room. The Zoku Lofts are clever micro apartments with a raised bed, living area, fully equipped kitchen and a large table that works just as well for breakfast as for a laptop.
On the top floors of the building you will find the rooftop bar, restaurant and shared workspaces. Ideal if you want to work during the day and have a drink in the evening without leaving the building. The location on the eastern canal belt is handy. You can walk into the centre and you are only a few minutes from the metro to Amsterdam Centraal.

Which type of apartment or aparthotel suits you
If you like atmosphere and community, creative concepts like Zoku are a great match. If you prefer lots of space and practical facilities, look at aparthotels around Sloterdijk or the Zuidas such as Amsterdam ID Aparthotel, Boutique Apartments Amsterdam or PREMIER SUITES. Travelling with children or keen to stay right in the centre? Then Hapimag, Eric Vökel or a canal belt apartment is a logical choice.
Before you book, think about:
- Do you want to cook full meals or just make a simple breakfast
- Is it important to be within walking distance of the centre, or is a fast train or tram link fine for you
- Are you staying for a short weekend or for a week or longer
With an apartment or aparthotel in Amsterdam you combine the freedom of your own place with the convenience of hotel style service. Your city break starts to feel less like a quick visit and more like living in the city for a few days.
