"For gilded-and-tasseled grandeur, this longtime family-owned “grand dame” sits where the Amstel meets the Rokin, its lavish rooms draped in silks and velvets and hung with Dutch Masters lent from the Rijksmuseum. In Heineken family hands since the 1950s, it’s known for opening doors across the city—think private Van Gogh Museum tours or door-to-door boat rides—and for on-site draws like the two-Michelin-starred Flore, the leather-clad Freddy’s Bar, and the breezy Brasserie Marie, plus a subterranean spa with a pool. Recent expansions include ’t Huys, a wing of 14 suites individually designed by Dutch brands and creatives such as Salle Privée and jeweler Bibi van der Velden." - Siobhan Reid
