It's not every day that a 17th-century church is part of a hotel, but an underground passage connects the Renaissance with the domed Koepelkerk, an erstwhile Lutheran church that now serves as this hotel's conference center. Smack-dab in the middle of the Centrum (city center), between Dam Square and Centraal Station, this ultramodern hotel's top floors provide panoramic views of the city. Another high point is the hotel's highly popular fitness center, Splash, where you can have a complete workout or relax with a massage, steam bath, whirlpool, or sauna. The soaring lobby is basically modern, trimmed out with wood and equipped with wireless Internet access. Pros: a stone's throw from Centraal Station, on a charming thoroughfare. Cons: basic rooms, corridors resemble university residence halls.
