When you travel with friends, family, or colleagues, sharing good food is easy. Splitting the bill, however, is not always so simple.

At Cityden Aparthotels, we are always looking for useful ways to make your stay easier. That is why we are pleased to announce our new partnership with Splitty, a smart payment platform that makes splitting restaurant bills quick and simple.

Whether you are visiting Amsterdam for business, planning a family holiday, or enjoying a weekend with friends, this partnership helps you spend less time working out the bill and more time enjoying the meal.

Making Group Travel in Amsterdam Simpler

Choosing serviced apartments in Amsterdam gives you more freedom than staying in a traditional hotel room. For example, you have extra living space, your own kitchen, and the flexibility to plan each day at your own pace.

You can stay in and cook together. Alternatively, you can head out for dinner or enjoy breakfast downstairs. Plans changed halfway through the day? No problem.

Even so, one part of eating out can still become complicated: paying the bill after a group meal.

This is where Splitty comes in.

The process is simple:

• First, ask for the restaurant bill.
• Next, scan the Splitty QR code.
• Then, select the food and drinks you ordered.
• Finally, pay your own share directly.
  
  

As a result, you do not need calculators or complicated payment requests afterwards. There is also no need to discuss who ordered the extra side dish.

Everyone pays for what they have. Done.

Split the Bill at Lucia’s Restaurant & Bar

The partnership feels particularly at home at Lucia’s Restaurant & Bar, Cityden’s own place to eat, drink, meet and unwind.

You can find Lucia’s at three Cityden locations: BoLo District, Zuidas and Stadshart. Although each restaurant has its own setting, they all offer the same relaxed approach.

Start the day with breakfast, meet a colleague over coffee, or order a few dishes to share. Later, you can settle in for dinner with your travel companions.

Sharing dishes is a great idea. Sharing payment calculations? Less so.

With Splitty, every guest at the table can select and pay for their own items. Therefore, it is especially useful when:

• Colleagues need separate receipts for work expenses.
• Friends order different numbers of drinks or dishes.
• Family members want to divide the bill between households.
• Someone needs to leave earlier than the rest of the group.
• International guests use different banks or payment apps.
  
  

Overall, it is a simple piece of technology that removes a common source of hassle.

Three Locations, Three Places to Dine Outdoors

Amsterdam is even better when you can enjoy it outside. At Cityden, you can combine the comfort of an aparthotel with breakfast, drinks or dinner at Lucia’s.

Each location offers a different setting. However, all three provide an easy place to meet, eat, and relax.

Lucia’s at Cityden BoLo District

Cityden BoLo District is located in Amsterdam-West, a lively neighbourhood filled with local shops, creative businesses and places to eat.

Lucia’s BoLo is a welcoming place for breakfast, lunch, drinks or dinner. When the weather allows, you can take a seat on the terrace. You can also meet your travel group downstairs or ask a Daymaker for a recommendation from the menu.

Moreover, the restaurant is a practical choice for groups staying in the spacious apartments above. Everyone can meet at Lucia’s, enjoy the meal and use Splitty to take care of the bill. Afterwards, you are ready to explore the city.

Lucia’s at Cityden Stadshart

Cityden Stadshart is located in Amstelveen, close to the shops, restaurants, and cultural venues of Stadshart Amstelveen.

The terrace at Lucia’s Stadshart gives you a comfortable place to start or finish your day. For instance, you can enjoy breakfast before exploring Amsterdam or take a break after shopping.

Later in the day, meet your family for dinner without travelling back into Amsterdam’s city centre.

In addition, Lucia’s serves international dishes with a local touch. The informal setting welcomes both Cityden guests and people from the neighbourhood.

Lucia’s Rooftop at Cityden Zuidas

The rooftop terrace at Cityden Zuidas brings together food, drinks and wide views.

Located on the sixth floor, Lucia’s looks out over the Zuidas business district, Amsterdamse Bos and the surrounding area. As a result, it is an inviting place for morning coffee, a business lunch, sunset drinks or dinner above the city.

Travelling with colleagues? Meet on the rooftop after work and let each person pay separately through Splitty.

Perhaps you are visiting with friends instead. In that case, order a selection of dishes, enjoy the view and split the bill without turning dinner into an accounting session.

The only way is up. Fortunately, the bill stays simple.

Why the Cityden and Splitty Partnership Makes Sense

At Cityden, hospitality goes beyond providing stylish aparthotels in Amsterdam. Every part of your stay should feel practical, comfortable and personal.

Splitty follows the same no-nonsense approach. In particular, the platform makes group payments:

• Simple: You select your own items.
• Clear: You can see exactly what you are paying for.
• Fast: Each guest pays directly.
• Flexible: Groups do not need to divide the bill equally.
  
  

Together, Cityden and Splitty remove one of the less enjoyable parts of eating with a group. Consequently, guests can focus on the food, the conversation and their time together.

Ideal for Business Travel in Amsterdam

Group dinners are often part of business travel in Amsterdam. You may be meeting clients, attending a conference or working on a project with colleagues.

Whatever the reason, Splitty makes those dinners easier to manage. Each traveller can pay for their own meal and keep a clear record of the payment. Therefore, there is less work to do when organising expenses later.

Cityden’s serviced apartments are also well suited to business stays. You have space to work, a kitchen for preparing your own meals and comfortable living areas for longer visits.

Meanwhile, Lucia’s gives you an easy place to meet throughout the day. Move from coffee to a meeting, then from a meeting to dinner.

Work, eat, pay and unwind. All at your own pace.

Easier Family and Group Stays

A family-friendly aparthotel in Amsterdam should give you enough space to spend time together. At the same time, everyone should be able to follow their own schedule.

Cityden apartments include kitchens, living areas and different sleeping options across a range of apartment types. Because of this, they are a practical base for families, groups of friends and guests travelling with several generations.

When you decide to eat out together, Splitty helps each person or household pay their own part of the bill. As a result, there are fewer payment requests after the holiday.

Instead, you can use that time to plan what to explore next.

More Than Just an Aparthotel

Cityden combines the comfort of an apartment with the useful services of a hotel.

Whether you are searching for short-stay apartments in Amsterdam, planning a long stay in Amsterdam, visiting for business or travelling with your family, you will find spacious accommodation that suits your time, space and pace.

For example, you can prepare dinner in your apartment, eat at Lucia’s or explore Amsterdam’s restaurant scene. You can also work independently, meet in a shared space or enjoy a drink on the terrace.

Whenever you need local advice or practical help, our Daymakers are nearby.

By working with useful and modern partners such as Splitty, Cityden continues to improve both the big and small parts of your stay.

Stay Together. Pay Separately.

Good company should be the most memorable part of a group dinner, not the payment calculation at the end.

With Splitty at Lucia’s, paying for your own food and drinks is straightforward. Simply scan, select and pay. Then, get back to the conversation.
