The street `Rusland', named after `Ruysch-land' a merchant who owned the land in the 15th century, is the site of the Radisson SAS Hotel Amsterdam *****. Over the years, the houses and buildings have had many different occupants, ranging from a hotel (in the 18th century), a paper company, monastery, church and vicarage.
The hotel has integrated the `old' with the `new' on both the outside and the inside. The hotel building, situated behind the facades of typical Amsterdam merchant houses, has a 7 storey atrium with a `garden terrace' and waterfall. With an underground promenade, which houses an art gallery, the north wing is connected to the south wing which houses, the health club, conference and banqueting facilities and the Conference Service Centre. The Radisson SAS Hotel Amsterdam ***** is situated in the historic heart of the city, close to tourist attractions, museums, restaurants, theatres, opera and great shopping. |
