The Mint Hotel Amsterdam, which opened in June, has been reflagged as the Netherlands’ first DoubleTree by Hilton.
The property is one of eight Mint hotels in the Netherlands and the U.K. that will be converted to a DoubleTree or Hilton Garden Inn.
The 553-room hotel, which reopened Monday as the DoubleTree by Hilton Amsterdam Centraal Station, includes four restaurants and bars, including the 11th floor Skylounge, as well as meeting space that can accommodate as many as 600 people. The hotel is about a mile from Dam Square.
Last month, Hilton said Amsterdam’s first Waldorf-Astoria will open in 2013 after a series of houses along a canal is converted into a 94-room hotel.
Including the new DoubleTree, Hilton Worldwide has six hotels in Amsterdam, including the Amsterdam Hilton that was name-checked in the Beatles song “The Ballad of John and Yoko.”
