Five-star Amsterdam hotels offer the finest lodgings available for travelers visiting this fascinating city.  Long histories of commerce and trade make it one of the most hospitable places in all of Europe, giving it a reputation for gracious and charming reception of visitors from all over the world.  What distinguishes our hotels from the rest of the local accommodations are the careful attention to fine details, along with the usual attention to meet the highest standards in the hotel industry.  Guests can expect excellence in dining, exercise facilities, connectivity, and in-room entertainments, along with a host of other exceptional details that will make a stay here unique and memorable.  Amsterdam has a lot to offer visitors, and there are a multitude of activities that will keep every member of the family happy.

One of the more interesting aspects of Amsterdam is, of course, its openness to alternative culture.  There are many manifestations of this that are visible throughout the city, along with a great deal of attention given to civic-minded actions and activities.  This has helped to make it one of the more exciting cities to live, attracting young people from all over the world.  Perhaps one of the most interesting new developments along these lines is the evolution of digital culture in Amsterdam.  In recent years, digital cultures have been springing up all over the world, and the possibilities for organization, information, and art are just being explored.  One of these new explorations is a group called DDS, De Digitale Stad.

DDS translates to “The Digital City,” and it’s certainly an apt metaphor for this organization.  Organization is perhaps not the best word, as there is a concentrated effort toward remaining loosely connected, to allow participants to organize themselves.  Since its inception in the mid-nineties, it has become an independent foundation, and serves as a hub for web activists and artists to gather and share information and resources.  DDS also participates in organizing public and virtual discussions about the possibilities for digital cultures to continue emerging and growing.  It’s a very ambitious enterprise, and one that has strength from both the visionary mission and the technological experience of its founders.
