Hotels bij Johan Cruijff Arena, Amsterdam
Johan Cruijff Arena staat in Amsterdam-Zuidoost, ongeveer 8 km zuidoost van Amsterdam Centraal, vlak naast station Bijlmer ArenA waar metrolijnen 50 en 54 stoppen. De omliggende straten vormen een evenementenbuurt met de Ziggo Dome en AFAS Live, in plaats van een uitgaansgebied.
