Oud-Zuid, as it sleeps
Hotels in Oud-Zuid range from large luxury properties near the museums to townhouse hotels in converted villas close to the Vondelpark. The larger ones have attentive night staff and key-card lifts, so meet her in the lobby. Townhouse hotels may close reception at night and give guests a door code; send it to her in the thread. Serviced apartments on the Beethovenstraat and around the Cornelis Schuytstraat often have concierges; mentioning that you expect a visitor avoids any questions. Rooms here are generously heated, but high ceilings take time to warm, so turn the heating up when you book rather than when she arrives. Large bathrooms with a bath are common, and a warm bath half an hour beforehand is an excellent start to a booking where nothing is worn.
