Gay hotels in amsterdam netherlands

A popular hotel on Travel Gay. The IBIS Centre Stopera in the city centre. Rooms come in luxury twin or double varieties, though both types are on the small side.

It has since been taken over by the Quentin hotel group and is now geared more towards backpackers and budget guests. Some hotels are for gay men only, some are a crucial part of the gay scene and some are just especially welcoming of gay visitors. The Waterlooplein, Central Station, and Rembrandtplein are only a short walk away and 20 minutes to Café ’t Mandje, Queen’s Head and other gay bars.

Madame Tussauds, Dam Square, the Rijksmuseum, and the Van Gogh Museum are also easy to reach, with all public transport in close proximity to the hotel, making the various districts and outer reaches of the city a stone’s throw away.

All modern, non-smoking, guest rooms feature air-conditioning, flat-screen cable TV, and free WiFi.

Any of the gay hotels listed below can be counted on to make your visit memorable.

Amistad Hotel Amsterdam

The quintessential Amsterdam gay hotel, Amistad is run by a small international group of gay men and is a lynchpin of the city’s gay scene. Rooms on offer include a studio that comes with a mini-kitchen or more traditional rooms from singles up to four beds.

Some rooms have canal views (at a supplement).

There’s a large courtyard where you can hang out in the summer. Let me know if you would like any other changes!

While pretty much every hotel in the city is friendly to the LGBT community, there are a number that make a special effort to be part of gay Amsterdam.

Rooms start from EUR 79 per night.

Amsterdam's Vibrant Gay Scene

Few modern gay scenes are as alive and vibrant as Amsterdam’s.

However, Amsterdam’s most prominent gay neighborhood is Regulierswarstraat. This iconic LGBTQ+ street began developing into a gay hotspot in the 1970s and 1980s with an explosion of gay bars and clubs, cementing Amsterdam’s role as an international gay destination and birthing a queer nightlife scene that continues to thrive.

Arts, Culture & Attractions

Beyond its lively nightlife, Amsterdam is also rich in culture and art.

For visitors who want a little more independence, Amistad also has apartments scattered throughout the city. The hotel offers well-appointed rooms in its main location close to Leidseplein and less than 100 meters from popular cruise club Church.
