How Would You Pronounce Our Hotel Name?

't Hotel

That's not a typo above, it's the name of the hotel the Flying Yanks are staying in while in Amsterdam, after we leave Tanzania. How am I gonna pronounce this name to the taxi driver?

Anyway, we've got two nights in Amsterdam to get reacclimatized to the West, and 't Hotel actually has a room that will hold all five of us Yanks. The hotel is a canal house not far from (the) Dam Square and the Anne Frank House, which I've always wanted to see. Best of all, it boasts an "extensive breakfast buffet," which ought to keep Kong from getting too antsy.

It's a little weird planning for accommodations in Amsterdam while the focus is on Africa. Europe will be odd after three weeks in the bush.
