Amsterdam used to be all about the “coffee shops,” canal tours, and Van Gogh Museum. And while you can still do all of the above on your next trip there, RealClearLife would suggest upping your accommodations ante. The fine establishment burning a hole in our pocket is the A’dam Tower, which boasts the city’s hottest (and priciest) luxury hotel room.
According to Bloomberg, one of the Sir Adam Hotel’s rooms clocks in at $10,000 a night (we’re guessing it’s the 452-square-foot Sir Suite that you can’t start booking until January 2017). There are also the 254-square-foot Sir Deluxe Corner rooms, each of which has its own Crosley record player and minibar. The hotel (and the entire tower, for that matter) has a music theme to it, and hotel patrons can borrow LP records from the lobby, and every room includes its own Gibson guitar (to, you know, keep your neighbors up all night).
Located behind Amsterdam’s Central Station, the A’dam Tower—which stands for “Amsterdam Dance and Music”—stands at 22 stories in one of the city’s trendiest neighborhoods. Besides the hotel, the tower also offers 360-degree views of the city from its penthouse observation deck (also home to Europe’s highest swing); the Moon, a revolving restaurant on the 19th floor; the Butcher Social Club, a popular upscale fast-food burger chain and a beer garden, both on the ground floor; and a private, members-only music club, Adam and Co., on the 18th floor. (Good luck getting in there unless you’re a music exec or Justin Bieber.)
Keeping with the sonic theme, the A’dam Tower also houses the Amsterdam headquarters for music agency MassiveMusic, electronic music firm ID&T, world-renowned guitar maker Gibson (hence the in-room service), and record label Sony Music.
