"Hotel Flora Batava traces its roots to 1670, when botanist Agnes Block created the Vijverhof estate, a haven of orchards, gardens, and ornamental ponds. After decades as a research institute, the historic property has been thoughtfully restored, preserving its stately facades and verdant grounds. The addition of a conservatory, a teahouse and sophisticated interiors brings new life to this riverside sanctuary, offering a peaceful escape along the Vecht, just a short drive from Amsterdam." - Tablet Hotels
