[Lounge Review] W Lounge - W Hotel Amsterdam's Rooftop-Lounge with a Superb View



W Hotel Amsterdam's Rooftop-Lounge Thumbnail


The W Hotel opened its doors in Amsterdam in October 2015. While the trendy and chic brand identity was once unique when the W chain was first launched under Starwood and now with Marriott, it has somewhat faded with competition. However, W hotels continue to maintain their value, and the W Amsterdam is no exception.


W Hotel Amsterdam's Rooftop-Lounge Interior

Situated on the 6th floor of the W Amsterdam, the W Hotel's rooftop lounge remains one of the most sought-after destinations in the city. Adorned with black, grey, and gold interior decor, it exudes trendiness and sophistication.

W Hotel Amsterdam Lounge - View



Its expansive glass walls offer breathtaking views of Amsterdam, allowing guests to gaze directly upon the historic Magna Plaza, once the city's main post office.

If you're lucky, which is quite rare in Amsterdam except during the summer months, you can grab a seat outside the window and bask in the sun. However, as you're likely aware, Amsterdam is notorious for its rainy weather, so you can expect that outdoor seating is often limited. Consequently, the indoor area tends to be quite crowded most of the time.


The lounge is also connected to a narrow pool, although it's not covered, so it may not be the ideal spot for a rainy day activity. However, at night, with music and lighting, it offers a unique ambiance to the hotel. While cities like LA or Bangkok boast trendy upscale hotel chains like the Standard Hotel, in Amsterdam, the W Hotel still holds its reputation as a symbol of trendiness.

W Hotel Amsterdam Lounge - Tea


I was fortunate to snag a table during my visit, which coincided with a rainy Easter Saturday afternoon. However, as you may have seen in the YouTube video, our day took an unexpected turn when an evacuation announcement was made due to a smoke detector alarm issue.

W Hotel Amsterdam Lounge - Coffee

Despite being part of an upscale chain, like other luxurious hotels in Amsterdam, the prices for coffee and tea at this hotel lounge are quite fair, ranging from around 4 to 6 Euros. Additionally, they served us an abundant amount of spicy nuts and almond macaroons. It was a rather nice visit.

[Food Review] - Yokomo: Amsterdam's Japanese Peruvian Nikkei Food Concept, Asian Fusion Spanish / Latin Restaurant.

For the past couple of years, alongside Korean cuisine, one of the hottest culinary trends in the world must be Peruvian cuisine. Thanks to its diverse spectrum ranging from Nikkei to Chifa, Peru and its capital Lima, led by Central , the country's unique cuisine have garnered a lot of attention from all over the world. You can even find traces of it in Amsterdam.   Yokomo, a Peruvian-Japanese restaurant specializing in Nikkei cuisine, is located in a charming corner of Maastraat, Amsterdam. To be honest, I've never been to Peru, and my only experience with Peruvian cuisine so far has been at Chifa in Los Angeles, which is Chinese-Peruvian cuisine, so my excitement increased quite a bit. Even before visiting, some of my coworkers went there and also gave positive reviews. PATATAS BRAVAS €6.50 We had six people for dinner and ordered quite a lot of food that day. Please find the YouTube video below for the full dinner that night. We started our meal with patatas bravas, which ...

[Food Review] Fuku Ramen - The Hottest Ramen Place in Amsterdam

  Almost simultaneously, several people recommended a place to me: Fuku Ramen. They mentioned that despite not being run by a Japanese person, the quality of the ramen exceeded expectations, surpassing that of any other ramen joint in Amsterdam. Intrigued by these reviews, I decided to visit. However, I hadn't anticipated that the rain would begin to fall just as I joined the queue. I hadn't expected the rain, and to add to it, the line moved at a snail's pace. Now, while the information has been corrected, it wasn't entirely clear whether they accepted reservations for the weekend or not. Several of us in line assumed it was walk-in only for the weekend, but it turned out they did accept reservations. It was a bit confusing at the time. Nonetheless, after waiting about an hour in the rain, I finally secured a seat at the bar. Despite knowing the price beforehand, I was still a bit taken aback when I confirmed it: a bowl of ramen priced at over 20 Euros. There were two ...

[Food Review] Yangon Delight: The Very First Burmese Restaurant in Amsterdam

When it comes to Asian food, Amsterdam doesn't offer as much variety as its neighboring cities like London or Paris. For example, Korean options are very limited, and Japanese cuisine is more skewed towards ramen and sushi. For Chinese food, we are now seeing Northeastern restaurants and hot pot places starting to pop up, but there is still a lack of diversity. In terms of Southeast Asian cuisine, while Delft has some Lao and Cambodian options, Amsterdam mainly has Indian, Indonesian, and Thai restaurants, with a very limited number of Vietnamese and Malaysian establishments. One good thing about Amsterdam is that, due to the city's exponential growth, new establishments keep opening. I sometimes google terms like "Sri Lankan Amsterdam" or "Lao Amsterdam" to see if there are any new restaurants. One day, I randomly typed "Burmese Amsterdam," and to my surprise, a Burmese restaurant had just opened its doors for the first time in Amsterdam. I had be...
