What is a serviced apartment?
It is often our instinct to consider hotels for travel
accommodation – especially when arranging a business trip – but the positives
of serviced apartments outweigh those of hotels to such a degree that the
preferred choice is clear. Corporate apartments are stylish, well-appointed
residences which can be used for both short-term and long-term stay (depending
on your requirements). With serviced apartments in Amsterdam you receive the
optional services of a hotel with the benefits a private space has to offer:
·
Cost
effectiveness. Like-for-like, serviced apartments are often much better value
than hotels. Additionally, a corporate serviced apartment decreases in cost the
longer you stay – beyond a certain threshold – and so for long business stays
are ideal.
·
Private and
personal. With a SilverDoor serviced apartment space is provided as standard. Unlike
a cramped hotel room, with your chosen apartment you have plentiful room to
relax, work and entertain at your own pace. You can opt to eat a self-prepared
meal and set maid service preferences so you can have undisturbed time when you
need it.
·
Luxury and ease. All
of our Amsterdam serviced apartments come outfitted with stylish décor, modern
appliances and luxurious extras. Many apartments benefit from on-site
gymnasiums, swimming pools and many more fantastic services: all available to
you should you wish to take advantage of them.

lined with the historic houses once owned by rich 17th century

art works attract a large number of visitors who travel especially to see the
Van Gogh collection. Drawing just as large an audience is the Anne Frank House
which resides in the centre of the city. Complete with a museum and offering
the opportunity to explore the annex where Anne wrote her diary, the house is a
European site of historical significance.
