"How did it strike you on arrival?Pass under a gray, 17th-century archway facing the Keizersgracht and through a quiet courtyard to access The Dylan. The partially hidden location gives this luxurious hotel an intimate vibe. The Dylan somehow manages to balance a central location with a relaxed take on privacy. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.Although each room layout is distinct, the decor can be grouped into three different themes. Serendipity includes rich fabrics in various shades of brown and gray, Luxura combines copper tones with elegant leather headboards and mother of pearl accents, and Loft has bright white walls, beige details, minimalistic furniture, and original wooden beams. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that worth noting?Some rooms boast Illy espresso makers, while all stock Frette bathrobes and James Heeley toiletries. Room service and food: Worth it?Chef Dennis Kuipers oversees Michelin-starred Restaurant Vinkeles. The French menu exhibits global influences, with dishes like John Dory with hazelnut, and quinoa flavored with mustard and citrus. Anything stand out about other features? Whatever stuck with you.At Brasserie OCCO, you can sip a Matured Manhattan made with bourbon, The Dylan’s homemade vermouth, and bitters. Enjoy it at the curved bar or at one of the marble tables—it's a lovely experience. Bottom line: worth it, and why?Ideal for the discreet traveler who still desires to stay in the center of it all." - Meredith Bethune
