Leidseplein, as it sleeps
Hotels around the Leidseplein vary from large modern buildings facing the square to small canal-house hotels on the Leidsekade and the Marnixstraat. Rooms facing the square are noisy on weekends until three, so ask for a room at the back if you can, or close the windows firmly. Large hotels have staffed lobbies and key-card lifts; meet her downstairs. Smaller hotels may lock their street door after midnight, so check how late reception is open. The streets around the square are busy with taxis and pedestrians late into the night, which makes her arrival unremarkable. If you have been drinking, drink water while you wait and take a warm shower, since this service involves no covering and a warm, relaxed body enjoys it more. Turn the room heating up when you send the message.
