BOAT&CO
Built in the traditional Amsterdam
School style, BOAT&CO is one of the
flagship developments in box-fresh
Houthaven, Amsterdam’s first carbon-
neutral neighbourhood. Located in the
west of the city, about 20 minutes on foot
from Amsterdam Centraal, the riverside
aparthotel is refined but unpretentious.
Rooms are quietly luxurious and many have
views over the IJ river to Amsterdam-Noord.
The cavernous open-plan restaurant, Vessel,
is intended to be ‘the front room of the
neighbourhood’ and serves noteworthy fare
in elegant surrounds. On sunny days, guests
can while away the hours on the terrace,
watching ships sail the IJ river.
ROOMS: Studios from £105, room only.
