Hotel Arena

Hotel Arena is an innovative concept in the hotel and catering industry. It’s a hotel with meeting rooms, a restaurant, a café with terraces and a club. The three star hotel is next to the Oosterpark. There are parking spaces on the grounds. This hotel has a few new designer suites, decorated by well-known designers such as Piet Hein Eek, Marcel Wanders, Ineke Hans and Marleen Kaptein. Some of these rooms can also be used as meeting rooms for smaller parties.

Hotel Arena is situated in the former St. Elisabeth building, a city monument alongside Amsterdam’s historical city centre. It was built in 1890 and first used as Roman-Catholic orphanage. Later it became an old age home, and in the 1980’s a youth hostel. In 1999 a series of renovations were begun and it was upgraded to a 3 star hotel. A number of noted designers participated in the renovation, and the result is a modern but character-full building.
Hotel Arena is centre of both international and local culture and activity. The accent is upon hosting cultural events, and the facilities consist of a hotel, bar, restaurant, club, and conference rooms. These are called respectively TOSTAY, TODRINK, TODINE, TONIGHT and TOMEET.
