In reply to Valerie Foster. Oh, I'm so glad it was useful to you! I saw the Movenpick (from street level only) when I was at SAIL this year, and it did look like the perfect spot. What a view that must have been!

Rachel, we just got home (AZ) from SAIL2025! Thank you for all of your wonderful advice, especially the recommendation of Movenpick for our hotel. We had a room on the 17th floor overlooking Sail-In and Sail-Out. Excellent lodging. A more joyous 5-day experience I’ve never had! We even sailed on the Oosterschelde. Again, thank you!

One photo sprang onto my screen two years ago and I KNEW I had to be at SAIL Amsterdam (and I’m not even into boats!). Then I found your blog. Thank you so much for all of the good information. I’m going and I can’t wait!

Good question! It’s only in Dutch, but I use Google Translate. If you are searching on Chrome or Edge or maybe some other browsers, you can install an extension for Google Translate. Then you don’t have to cut and paste – you just click on it to translate the page. I use it all the time – not for Dutch but for every other language!

Hello Rachel. How do we convert to English on the Sail Amsterdam site?

In reply to Rachel Heller. And I'd like to add that it's very wise of you to be looking into booking a place so far in advance!

In reply to Glynn. I haven't stayed in any hotels that overlook SAIL Amsterdam, but my best guess is that the Movenpick would have the best view - ask for a view of the IJ when you book. I think the Hotel Jakarta Amsterdam might also have a good view.

Which are the best hotels to stay in to see the tall ships from?

In reply to Cindy. Sure. Plenty of time, since it's not till 2025.
