Since its renovation in 2000, this is one of the best deluxe hotels in Amsterdam with one of the best locations, and the best bedrooms, suitable for even the most discerning traveler. 09/08/07 JG.
The hotel has a traditional exterior as it consists of 24 canal houses which have been joined together to create a unique property blending in with its historical surroundings.
All the rooms are typically Dutch and beautifully decorated although they vary in size from small to medium; however, they have been beautifully renovated in 2000 and most have wooden floors or beamed ceilings, heavy wood furniture and are in exceptional condition. The bathrooms are also in exceptional condition and are quite stunning, with beige, checkered marble floor and sink and an arch over the bath with a crest on the wall overlooking the bath adding to the royal feel that this hotel exudes.
The restaurant is divided into two parts, one with wooden flooring and neutral furnishings and the other with marble floor and bright red, black and white furnishings. There is also a bar which is very swish with dark blue and black decor but very comfortable and inviting and it also boasts a very trendycigar room and is extremely popular with the locals and, along with the restaurant, is not typical of a hotel bar.
Completely renovated in 1998, the medium size lobby has a checkered floor and a beautiful hand woven carpet. There are rugs and beautiful new traditional furniture and the entire area is abundant with wood, e.g. beams. A very impressive lobby.
The hotel is located on the tree-lined Prinsengracht, one of Amsterdam's most picturesque canals. The Royal Palace on the Dam Square, the main shopping districts and many Museums are all an easy stroll away.
