Hotel V Nesplein
Downtown drama in the Dutch capital


The more central of two locally-owned V hotels, the location of Hotel V Nesplein is as urban as it gets. A stone's throw from Dam Square, in the heart of the Nes theatre district and adjacent to the Red Light district, this is where the action is. The decor also leans towards the theatrical, with a giant statement chandelier welcoming guests at reception, velvet curtains adorning the bar and spotlights taking the place of ceiling lamps in guest rooms.
