Best Hotels in Aalsmeer

Just a short trip southwest of Amsterdam, Aalsmeer is a town defined by water and flowers. The main event for many is the Royal FloraHolland auction, the world's largest flower market, where the early morning bidding is a spectacle of fast-paced logistics. Beyond the auction hall, the town's network of lakes, like the Westeinderplassen, offers sailing, fishing, and quiet waterside cafes. Stroll through the historic town center to see the traditional Aalsmeer boatyards and the old Flower Art Museum, which traces the area's horticultural roots.

It's an ideal base for travelers who want easy access to Amsterdam's attractions but prefer a quieter, greener setting. Couples and solo travelers interested in unique local culture will find it especially appealing. The town is well-connected, with a direct train to Amsterdam Central Station taking about 30 minutes, and Schiphol Airport is practically next door. Staying near the town center puts you within walking distance of local restaurants and the auction.

Accommodation here is practical and comfortable, dominated by reliable chain hotels and a few independent options. On HOTEVI, you can find the straightforward Van der Valk Hotel Aalsmeer-Amsterdam, the convenient Bastion Hotel Amsterdam/Aalsmeer near the highway, and the quieter, family-run Bed & Breakfast Aalsmeer. These provide a restful stop after a day of exploration.
