Boutique Hotel No.43, Zaan Region, Netherlands

• Unique style: In a leafy street right by the Zaan River sits Boutique Hotel No.43, a quiet place where laid-back living and individuality shines through in all that happens. The nine deluxe bedrooms are all uniquely designed, so you can feel a real ownership of your elegant quarters, and luxurious amenities like Nespresso machines and Marie-Stella-Maris products in the marble-clad bathrooms mean you won’t be left wanting for anything.
  
  
• Food with a view: If you take a scenic five-minute stroll along the river you arrive at Restaurant Diga, the hotel’s dining establishment that boasts stunning views of the Zaanse Schans windmills. Exclusively open at breakfast for hotel guests (not included in the package, request upon arrival), fuel up for the day before returning in the evening to gorge yourself on the exquisite Italian cuisine with a Dutch twist. You can also sit out on the terrace with a glass of Limencello while admiring the river vistas.
  
  
• Local intrigue: Even though you have the thrills of Amsterdam on your doorstep, the immediate vicinity is also full of fascinating ways to spend your time. Right from your hotel you can explore the vast landscape, cycle through the 17th century mills and learn about the area’s rich history at places like Molen Museum, The Zaanse Time Museum and the Albert Heijn Museum. You can also find out how clogs are made at the Wooden Shoe Workshop, as well as going to a professional demonstration of cheese-making at the Henri Willig Cheese Factory.
