Luxury hotels in Amsterdam make a great base from which to
explore this unique historic city on a short break. Amsterdam is easy to get to
by train, ferry or by air, and its compact size makes it easy to get around. It
offers a host of museums, attractions, shops and things to do. It continues to
be a popular choice for stag weekends all year round. With its quaint town
houses, canal-lined streets and café culture it offers plenty of entertainment
to suit all tastes and ages.
Here are five top luxury hotels in Amsterdam’s central
district which are all completely different in style and won’t break the bank.
The Dylan
Heralded as one of the Leading Luxury Hotels in Amsterdam,
this contemporary boutique hotel was originally the handiwork of interior
designer Anouska Hempel. With exotic furnishings and themed décor, the Dylan
overlooks Amstel, one of the most famous canals in this “Venice of the North”.
Hotel Seven-One-Seven
This popular boutique hotel consistently gets a five star
rating as one of the most sought-after luxury hotels in Amsterdam. Perfectly
complementing its historic exterior its 8 spacious suites are all individually
furnished with an eclectic mix of antiques and comfy armchairs. The Hotel
Seven-One-Seven is always well-frequented, no doubt due to its garage parking,
Bang and Olufsen music systems and fitness centre.
Eden Amsterdam American Hotel
Located in the heart of Amsterdam, this luxury hotel is
close to the Stadsschouwburg Theatre and Leidse Square, which is the centre of
the city’s nightlife. The museums and the Old City are within easy walking
distance along pretty canal streets.
Hotel V Frederiksplein
Those looking for more modern luxury hotels in Amsterdam
will find the minimalist décor and stylish furnishings in the Hotel V have
great appeal. It offers some of the best value accommodation in the city, but
it is further out from the historic centre. There is a tram stop nearby.
Lloyd Hotel and Cultural Embassy
This true boutique hotel offers accommodation where no two
rooms are the same. Built in Dutch style as an emigrants’ hotel for those
leaving for America, the building has also served as a prison and an artist’s
workshop. Now totally renovated it offers surprisingly spacious rooms. The
décor of this luxury hotel is minimalist in style with some interesting
designer artwork to catch the eye.
Alex Brey co-founded Luxique, and has had a passion for
travel for more than 20 years. So much so, he convinced others to join him in
his pursuit to create a travel documentary highlighting some of the globe’s
finest destinations. During an almost three year process, he got to stay in
some outstanding luxury hotels, soak up some vibrant cultures and enjoy some of
the world’s finest cuisines. He realized that the decision-making process for
planning the perfect trip – from choosing the destination to getting the right
hotel room – was something that could be improved. And so came the birth of
Luxique, the website that caters for the discerning traveler.
