"Even in summer, there’s a crisp, collegiate, fall-is-in-the-air atmosphere at the Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Maurits at the Park. It’s an impression that makes perfect sense when you learn that this luxury boutique hotel makes its home inside a restored university building that dates back to 1908. With its elegant brick facade, high-arching ceilings, and large windows overlooking Amsterdam’s leafy Oosterpark, it’s more like the movie version of academia, and its light-filled rooms, with bespoke beds, heated floors, and Diptyque bath products, are a far cry from a college dorm. The best suite even has a grand piano and a marble bathroom with a soaking tub. Complimentary snacks and drinks are available around the clock in the modern guest lounge, and a collection of restaurants and bars — including a chic brasserie and a roaring twenties-style cocktail lounge named after F. Scott Fitzgerald — add to the appeal." - Tablet Hotels
