‘Orlando was the outcome of a perfectly
definite, indeed overmastering impulse.
I want fun. I want fantasy.’ (Virginia Woolf on creating
Orlando, 1929) |

Mr Paul Lodder, the proprietor of Hotel Orlando, invites you
to enjoy a memorable stay in his historical, 17th century house
in the heart of Amsterdam’s Canal Belt. |
|
| |
Built around 1680, during the height of The Netherland’s
Golden Age, this five-storey patrician house is characterised
by its typical ‘holbol-gevel’ front, one of the
few left in Amsterdam. |

In 1994 Paul Lodder, a former lawyer who had decided to drop
out of the rat race, acquired it to realise a new existence
and fulfil an old dream. A seasoned traveller himself, he transformed
it into ‘the nice, small, sophisticated hotel de charme
with a homely feel where he would like to stay himself’.
Offering personal accommodation and generous hospitality in
a friendly, laid-back atmosphere. Making guests feel at home.
A room of one’s own, indeed. |

After a major refurbishing operation Hotel Orlando reopened
in April 2004, upgraded to 3-star category. |
