We are Mr. JORDAAN
We’re a little different from the average Amsterdam hotel. For starters, we’re slightly off the beaten track. We’re located at Bloemgracht, an enchanting 17th century canal just off of the Prinsengracht. We’re in the heart of the Jordaan, the sassy, smart village in midtown with its exciting art studios, quirky little shops and authentic Amsterdam bars & cafés – where Sundays get as comfy and as quiet as a tiny French town. That’s just like us.
Back to the sixties
What’s more: we go way back to the sixties, when one day, our founder decided to advertise his couch at the local tourist agency. People loved it. So the couch turned into a room, which turned into two, which expanded into a full floor, then into more floors until even the house next door gave in to the hospitable spirit of our Mr. Jordaan. You could say he was a pioneer. Started couch surfing before its time. AirBnB-by-phone-and-snail-mail. Stay-with-a-local, well before we even knew ‘local’ was something to aspire.
