Description:
Van Gogh liked this setting well enough to paint part of it in his View of Amsterdam from Centraal Station (1885). Built around an open central courtyard in an area of old warehouses, the six-story Renaissance blends with the gabled facades nearby. Antiquity's influence stops at the front door, however: The Renaissance is highly modern, offering big beds, color TVs with in-house movies, electronic security, and message-retrieval systems. It's a matter of opinion whether the hotel's transformation of the adjacent domed Lutheran Koepelkerk into an ultramodern conference center is appropriate. The restored old church, which dates from 1671 and was painted in 1885 by van Gogh, sometimes serves as a dining room for special events. There's also the elegant restaurant Brasserie Noblesse and the brown-cafe-style (but pristine) Koepelcafé that serves light meals. Let your hair down at the Boston Club disco.
