Arena Hotel
Dating from 1890, this cool
three-star hotel on the east side
of town was originally a Roman
Catholic orphanage, and later an
asylum. On Fridays and Saturdays
the madness continues, when
some of Amsterdam's top DJs
spin at Tonight, the hotel's
adjacent two-floor “church-club .
A bit of a trek if you're staying
centrally, but worth the effort.
