Establishing its standout quality early on, W Amsterdam is located not in one but two buildings. Housed in a telephone exchange building from the 1920s and a former bank from 1908, between the Singel Canal and the Royal Palace, the hotel is an interesting mix of heritage and contemporary style, of high-end peaceful hospitality and the city center’s buzz. Within a 300-meter walk to Dam Square, W Amsterdam’s classy microworld, featuring elegant interior design pieces, two signature restaurants, 238 rooms and suites and a rooftop lounge bar with a pool offers a unique hospitality experience. The Duchess Restaurant, inspired by the splendour and eminence of the Belle Époque, the jaw-dropping rooftop and view and the innovative design with vibrant colours and state-of-the-art technology are just some of the reasons that make it one of the best hotels in Amsterdam.

The second hotel of our list, is also housed in two original Renaissance buildings, in the heart of Amsterdam’s Palace Quarter. Located a stone’s throw away from the Central Station of Amsterdam, Kimpton De Witt is an authentically cool hotel offering an authentic Amsterdammer stay. Spectacularly designed rooms that are housed in original 17th century buildings, including  bird-shaped reading lamps, abstract spins on classic Dutch art and pops of brilliant blues and emerald greens paying homage to historic Delft tiles make for warm and luxurious interiors. Full of relaxing areas and unique pieces of furniture, books and modern artworks, Kimpton de Witt’s lobby is one of the most enjoyable for guests to hang out.

The Book Collector’s Suite

Pulitzer Amsterdam Hotel is quite a level up in terms of location. One of the city’s most iconic hotels consists not of one, nor two, but 25 interlinked canal houses from the 17th and 18th century, located in the heart of the city! A must-visit spot for eclectic travelers, this one of a kind luxury hotel blends history with new-age hospitality, celebrating traditional and modern Dutch craftsmanship. The hotel’s decoration is inspired by the history of the buildings and who may have occupied them over the last 400 years; from the Golden Age to mid-century. An artsy feel is all around the hotel’s atmosphere, enhanced by the decoration details, and there is an Art Collector’s Suite and a Book Collector’s Suite, based on the Amsterdam houses with beautiful book collections and nice vintage bookstores in the city.  The hotels’ restaurant Jansz and the secret garden are also among the highlights!
