About this venue
Amistad Hotel (often called Amistad Gay Hotel) is an absolute icon of European queer hospitality, proudly operating for decades as one of the most famous exclusively gay-friendly boutique hotels in Amsterdam. Housed inside two beautifully combined, historic 17th-century canal houses, it is a warm, deeply affectionate, and completely judgment-free sanctuary tailored primarily for gay men, solo queer travelers, and same-sex couples looking for a safe and social home-away-from-home.

Best time to stay
A weekend stay lets you use more of Amistad Hotel Amsterdam's social spaces; weekdays suit a quieter base. Major Pride and festival dates need the earliest booking.
