"The first Dutch boutique hotels we saw were marvels of the modern minimalism that was in the ascendant in the turn-of-the-millennium Netherlands. Since then, however, we’ve seen a flowering of eclectic styles — but none quite so ornate as that on display in Hotel TwentySeven. This 1916 building is home to a private club, and, on its upper floors, to a luxury boutique hotel that’s as intensely atmospheric as anything we’ve ever seen." - Mark Fedeli
