One of the city's oldest hotels -- though it actually started life in 1864 as the first Heineken brewery -- stands across the street from the Royal Palace. The ornamental facade, complete with turrets and alcoves, is original and has been fully restored. Likewise, the interior is completely renovated, and the rooms, though relatively small, are comfortably furnished in modern yet cozy style. You won't eat much more traditionally Dutch than in the
Brasserie de Poort, and you can drink in the
Bodega de Blauwe Parade bar amidst a fest of Delft blue tiles.
