Accommodation in Amsterdam

There are many hotels in Amsterdam, even in the close vicinity of Conference Venue, Felix Meritis at the Keizersgracht.  A useful website with general information about many hotels in or near downtown Amsterdam:  http://www.hotels.nl/amsterdam/   The hotels vary on multiple dimensions - some are more pricy than others, some are located in areas that might be more noisy (especially in the summer) than others , and so on. 

We recommend that you check yourself the above website, because they provide more information than we can give you.   Also, make sure that you make a reservation as soon as possible.   Summer time is a busy time in Amsterdam, and so the hotels may be fully booked before you know.   Do not wait until the last couple of weeks!

Some suggestions of hotels within walking distance from Felix Meritis (10-15 minutes or less) include the following:
