English translation:VC looks like it can mean 'vicinity' hotel VC =hotel in the vicinity
Explanation:
My first thought is that it is the name of a chain, but I can't find any confirmation for that. I removed a suggestion about VC standing for Victoria state in Australia because it seems really too far-fetched.

all hotels listed in the reference belwo are in the vicinity of Amsterdam.
