De Filosoof

Frommer's Review

On a quiet street facing Vondelpark, this hotel might be your place if you fancy yourself something of a philosopher. One of the proprietors, a philosophy professor, has chosen posters, painted ceilings, framed quotes, and unusual objects to represent philosophical and cultural themes; the garden is a grove of academe. Each room is dedicated to a mental maestro -- Aristotle, Plato, Goethe, Wittgenstein, Nietzsche, Marx, and Einstein among them -- or is based on motifs like Eros, the Renaissance, astrology, or femininity. To join the intellectual melee, consult your private bookshelf or join in a weekly philosophy debate. Rooms in an annex across the street are larger; and some open onto a private terrace. Regular improvements keep the property up to date.
