Your number one hotel during King’s Day

Each year, on April 27th, we celebrate King’s Day on the birthday of our King Willem-Alexander van Oranje. His royal surname, “van Oranje (of Orange)”, is the reason why the entire country turns orange on King’s Day. So if you were wondering why everything is orange, now you know! ‘Koningsdag’ is a national holiday when we throw the ultimate party on all streets of the Netherlands. From lively street markets and music performances to boat parades and open-air parties, King’s Day showcases the Dutch spirit in a joyful and unforgettable way.

An exclusive stay during King’s Day for the perfect celebration

On the corner of Leidseplein, right in the middle of the city center of Amsterdam, you’ll find The Diamond. Located in one of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods for King’s Day, our hotel offers unrivaled access to the heart of the celebration. With its unique and luxurious appearance, The Diamond is hard to miss and even harder to beat when it comes to experiencing King’s Day in true Dutch style.

Indulge yourself in a sea of orange outfits, try our famous and sweet orange ‘tompouzen’ and dive into the festivity. One of the main attractions is the lively scene on the canals, where beautifully decorated boats fill the waterways. These floating parties often feature live DJs, creating a festive atmosphere that can be enjoyed from the water or the canal-side streets. Whether you’re on a boat or simply taking in the sights, the city offers a unique and energetic experience throughout the day.

Keep in mind that public transport in Amsterdam will undergo several changes on King’s Day due to the large crowds and festive atmosphere. Many streets in the city center are closed to traffic, and trams and buses are rerouted or operate on limited schedules. While trains to and from Amsterdam generally run more frequently to accommodate visitors, travelers should expect delays and crowded conditions. It is strongly recommended to plan ahead, check schedules in advance, and use designated walking routes once in the city. Despite the adjustments, public transport remains a reliable way to access the festivities and experience the day safely and efficiently.

Your hotel near the famous canals and Leidseplein

The whole city transforms into a big party, but the biggest party during King’s Day takes place at the canals in the heart of the city. There are organized parties on several large squares with live music and performances. It is also a tradition to sell your things at the flea market on King’s Day. Locals display their stuff on a rug on the street and you can get your bargain for a small price.

Are you more into dancing in the daytime? Hotel The Diamond is ideally situated just steps away from the heart of the celebration at Leidseplein, offering guests easy access to some of the city’s most exciting parties. Leidseplein is one of Amsterdam’s liveliest areas during King’s Day, known for its open-air parties, energetic crowds, and live DJ performances. The square and surrounding streets become a festive hub, drawing locals and visitors looking to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere.
