The Bulldog in Amsterdam

The Bulldog No. 90 was the first coffeeshop in Amsterdam and laid the benchmark for the contemporary coffeeshop. What once began in a cellar has grown into an ironclad trade-name with multiple locations and a hotel in Amsterdam and beyond.

Amsterdam. A city where cobblestone streets curl like smoke through 17th-century neighborhoods. Where every turn delivers a postcard moment: canals catching golden sunlight, bicycles buzzing by, and café terraces pulsing with energy. For the cannabis traveler, Amsterdam is the pilgrimage. And there’s no better home base than The Bulldog, the pioneering brand that lit the spark of global cannabis culture in 1975.

What began as an underground smokers’ den in 1975 has evolved into an Amsterdam icon and the epitome of the unique “coffee shop” experience there. Now operating several coffee shops, a hotel and lounge, and even a boat tour and bike service in Amsterdam, The Bulldog has a comfy hotel that provides an ideal home base near the Red Light District for exploring this diverse and beautiful city.

The Bulldog Hotel has an iconic location on the canal near the Red Light District of Amsterdam. It makes the perfect home base for cannabis friendly exploration.
