Route description
Parking
The Ambassade Hotel does not have private parking facilities, but not even a 10-minute walk away is the „Europarking“, a public parking garage. Upon arrival at the hotel, the reception staff can give you directions.
Another option is parking along the canals, the hours for paid parking are Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. until midnight, and Sundays and holidays from 12:00 until midnight. You can purchase a parking pass at one of the parking meters but a considerably cheaper solution is to buy a day pass or three-day-pass at the reception desk.

Arriving by means of public transport from Schiphol Airport
The easiest and fastest way (about 20 minutes) to get to the Ambassade Hotel is by taxi. The train is a good alternative. Trains towards Amsterdam Central Station depart from Schiphol Airport every 15 minutes. From the Amsterdam Central Station, a taxi is once again the easiest and fastest way to get from there to the Ambassade Hotel. Alternately, you can take tramlines 1, 2 or 5 to the Spui stop (the third stop from the Central Station). Then walk on in the same direction as the tram and turn right at the first corner. Then take the narrow little walkway between Café “Hoppe” and Café “Zwart”. Then cross over the Singel (a canal) and walk to the next canal (the Herengracht) where you will turn right. The Ambassade Hotel will be on your right in another 50 metres at Herengracht 341.
