Erotic massage by the Vondelpark, for a stay on the edge of the park
The hotels around the Vondelpark are mostly quiet ones, set in tall nineteenth-century houses on residential streets. They suit a guest who wants a calm evening, and they come with a few habits of their own that are easier to plan for from home.
The park runs from the edge of Leidseplein out towards the west, with Oud-West along its northern side and Oud-Zuid along its southern one. Vondelstraat, Van Baerlestraat and the streets off Overtoom hold most of the hotels, many of them converted townhouses with a handful of rooms on each floor. The museums are a short walk away, and so is P.C. Hooftstraat, but the streets themselves are residential and go quiet early in the evening.
Townhouse hotels
A hotel in a converted house often has a small lift, or none at all, and a steep staircase that turns between floors. Room sizes vary a great deal, even inside one building. Look closely at the room type when you reserve and, if the listing lets you, ask for a room with space around the bed. If the hotel has no lift and your room is at the top, say so in the thread so she expects the climb.
After dark
The park is not lit everywhere at night, and the streets around it are dim compared with the centre. Directions that lean on the park itself, such as the gate near the pond, help less after dark than a house number and a description of the door. Many townhouse hotels carry only a small plaque by the entrance, so tell her what it looks like.
A calm district for a long booking
The quiet of these streets suits the longer formats. A guest who wants tantra, which needs ninety minutes at the least and sits comfortably at two hours, or a three-hour evening, will find the district gentler than the squares in the centre. Ask for the full length in the first message, so the diary is held for all of it rather than extended on the night.
Dinner close to the hotel
Overtoom and the streets towards Leidseplein hold enough restaurants that a guest staying here seldom needs a taxi before the hour. Book a table within a quarter of an hour on foot, and set the start for an hour after you expect the bill. If the meal runs long, a line in the thread before she sets out can push the start back on the same evening, when her diary has room for it.
Booked like any central address
The streets around the park are part of the central districts, with the same forty to sixty minutes from her setting out and the rates shown on every profile. If you are weighing a hotel here against one nearer the canals, the notes on choosing a hotel help set the room against the location.
