Hotel Arena aan de ’s Gravenzandestraat is een horeca-accommodatie met meerdere functies. Het is een restaurant, hotel, expositieruimte èn club. In het weekend zijn De Kerkzaal en Tuinzaal het decor van populaire feesten als Salsalounge, GirlsLoveDJ’s, waar zeer veel houseliefhebbers op af komen. Dat is niet vreemd, want er staan wekelijks zeer aansprekende dj’s achter de draaitafels. Wat dat betreft is het een belangrijke plek in het Amsterdamse nachtleven. Het monumentale pand met de prachtige plafondschilderingen in de Kerkzaal springen vooral in het oog. Uitgaan wordt op die manier wel heel bijzonder.
