Best places to stay:
Twenty-five interlinked canal houses nestled between the Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht form this luxurious hotel, a glorious fusion of the Golden Age and the modern day.
Bespoke contemporary furnishings in shades of teal and plum, contemporary art and quirky design touches enliven the historical interiors, from the common areas to the 225 guest rooms. The best and brightest of them overlook the canals, while the four cavernous themed Collector’s Suites boast private entrances.
The large garden courtyard is ideal for warm-weather drinking and dining, while the cosy, clubby Pulitzer’s Bar is a refined spot for a classic cocktail.
The convenient location in the Canal Ring is almost perfect. Step outside and you’re surrounded by all the cafes, bars and shopping of the Nine Streets and the quaint Jordaan.
