Hotel Prinsenhof in IJmuiden!
We've finally done it...

Our new
hotel near the coast.

After about a year and a half's worth of demolishing,
measuring, rebuilding, cleaning, rebuilding again, remeasuring, tiling, carpenting,
roofing, laying the pipes and miles of electricity cable, clearing tons of
debris, sanding, painting, repainting and working on the walls, the pipes
and the floors some more (thanks uncle Frank) we are very proud to finally
present to you the latest in accommodation fashion: Hotel Prinsenhof IJmuiden!
IJmuiden is situated about half an hour from
Amsterdam Central Station by means of a super fast hydrofoil connection (see
below), and offers its visitors a number of diverse and surprising

scenes. The harbours and sea locks, the large
beaches, the dunes with hidden bunkers, the rich nature of its national park,
its fort island, its museums and its attractive boulevard definitely make
it a place worth coming back to.

All this, combined with its proximity to
Amsterdam was the reason for us to venture into starting a hotel Prinsenhof
outside of Amsterdam itself. We hope that you will make it worth our while
just as we will try to make it worth yours.
On the following pages we'll try to give
you a good impression of IJmuiden and its surroundings in a similar fashion
as we've done in our Amsterdam department. We'll try to explain some of IJmuiden's
history and its connection with the sea, the fisheries and Amsterdam, as
well as having a closer look at its night life and restaurants. Of course,this
is going to eat a lot of our time again, so you'll have to execute a little
patience as there is a lot to tell you about this rather undiscovered part
of Holland.
Below you see the results of what we've come
up with so far.
