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.
