So we often report of new arcades or bar arcades opening around the world, and we often look on here in the UK with jealousy as the scene explodes everywhere else, now our jaws are hitting the floor as a WHOLE HOTEL ARCADE has opened in Amsterdam.
As well as planning expansion and extra games rooms already, each and every room contains games consoles, handhelds in the lobby bar and a very cool COMIC BOOK library
The Arcade Hotel sits just far enough away from the cheap madness of Amsterdam’s obvious tourist spots in the up and coming De Pijp area, and it aims to become a welcome retreat for like-minded gamers looking for some familiar RnR after a day exploring the city.
All rooms are kitted out with a retro console and games at no extra cost, and handheld consoles are passed around for multiplayer gaming in the lobby bar. – MATT MARTIN – VG247.COM
The owner, Daniel Salmanovich has a dream to remodel the hotel into a special place for people who love gaming.
I wanted to create a place where travelers and gamers feel like they are staying at a friends home – Daniel Salmanovich, Hotel Owner
The Hotel currently has 36 rooms, with expansion plans already underway, they have a fantastic website (here) and a great Facebook page (here) – if we go to Amsterdam we know where we are staying!
