The Amsterdamned Building / Landmark in Out of the Shadows | World Anvil

The Amsterdamned

Located at the canal belt in Amsterdam, the Amsterdamned is a hotel existing out of a dozen canal houses merged into a single monstrosity. On its eastern side it faces a clean canal with sluices protecting it from the toxic wasteland, while the western side faces a 'dirty canal', which fills with toxic waste every time the tide comes in.   This duality is also represented in the rooms the hotel sells. Its eastern half is filled with luxurious rooms, and large rooms rentable for events. The western half is a cheap coffin hotel, with rooms often called 'shoeboxes'. The two halves are separated by the storage areas used by both faces of the Amsterdamned.   Despite coming across as a chimera constructed by Frankenstein, the Amsterdamned is well-known for its comfort. Even its shoebox rooms have soft beds that allow people to have a comfortable night of sleep. If you're going to need a place to rest your feet and nothing else, there's no better coffin hotel in all of Amsterdam. Just don't enter through the luxurious side, unless you want to pay an arm and a leg. Literally.  

The hidden face

  Officially, dirt canals are caused by governmental priorities, representing areas sacrificed due to a lack of budget. As many in the shadows know, the real reason is that the Dutch Penose likes to keep part of the canal belt slumlike. This keeps the SINners, and with them the authorities, away from their domain.   The Amsterdamned is owned by a group of Dutch Penose leaders, with shares and a board and everything. Deep within the hotel, hidden between the storage rooms, is a section used for hiding their own from enemies. Occasionally they rent these saferooms out to allied Shadowrunners, protecting them from the police and Megacorps.   The Dutch Penose has granted the Amsterdamned the status of sanctuary, meaning no violence is allowed without permission of all owners. Even during the two Liquidation Waves, this sanctity was rarely violated. Every violation was retaliated against without any restraint or mercy. Two of its leaders did die suspicious deaths on hotel grounds, though the remaining leaders have declared this to simply be unfortunate events.
