Why you want to go to Moxy Houthavens tomorrow

A day-night in Amsterdam or a staycation in your own city? You only need one location for that: Moxy Houthavens. Warning: you risk not leaving this hotel. The Moxy hotel is cool, one big playground and you actually just never want to go home.

10:00 AM Work up a sweat for an hour 

To physically (and maybe a little bit mentally) prepare yourself for a weekend full of fun, you work up a sweat at The Athletic Club. A boxing match, a fitness class, or running on the treadmill, it's all possible. Afterwards, a towel and water are ready for you.

11:30 Hit the spa

After your workout, you need to relax to recover. First, you take a refreshing dip in the pool and then you blow off steam in the sauna. To really ease into the weekend, you get a Deep Tissue Massage in the spa.

1:00 PM Refuel with lunch

You can do this just three steps from Moxy. At the Houthavens, you will find exactly what suits your taste. Warning: if you go after August, you will also find the tasteful Restaurant Lars at Moxy, where you might eat yourself round. Just saying.

4:30 PM First stop at Foreplay

Our favorite hour on Friday, the bottles can be opened and the cocktails are shaken. Foreplay at the Moxy happens once a month and is your answer to an out-of-hand Friday afternoon drink. If you see us – because we sometimes take some Foreplay with us – what happens at the Moxy stays at the Moxy. Agreed? Great, we'll see you on August 3rd, because at Moxy they kick off Pride Amsterdam exactly how we like it.

8:00 PM Enjoy your meal

After a nice wine or good cocktail, the inner person needs to be taken care of. We prefer to do this with a snack at Wilde Kroketten. Here you won't find ‘factory products from the wall’, but culinary, hand-rolled croquettes of Thai shrimp or vegetable karma (just mentioning something tasty).

11:00 PM One more then

At the 24/7 bar (yes, you read that right) the bartender shakes something delicious together. You might take a dance, settle into a rocking chair, or outplay your companion at a game of foosball.

3:00 AM (or later) Good night

Bedtime! You can also go earlier, because we can easily imagine that you want to when you've seen a room from the inside (with a view of the harbor). Your room has supersonic beds, a giant TV, and a breathtakingly strong wifi signal that makes binge-watching a series quite tempting.

Cheers, we'll see you at #atthemoxy.
