Amsterdam, having been an active international centre for years with thousands of visitors arriving and departing every day, is an open and welcoming city. With the constant and massive influx of leisure and business travellers, the entire industry has effectively addressed itself to offering a certain level of luxury hotels and restaurants throughout the city.
The greatest strength of luxury hotels in Amsterdam is undoubtedly their diversity. There are historical hotels that maintain a certain reputation, such as Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky on Dam Square and Hotel Amstel, founded more than a hundred years ago, but also modern hotels belonging to international luxury chains such asHilton, Okura or Marriott, often located in more suburban districts, although the concept of the Dutch suburbs is quite different from what we are used to.
Staying in historic hotels allows you to get in touch with the city’s past. Take for instance Hotel Pulizter, which occupies with its 200 rooms more than fifteen former merchant houses, where each room has been furnished in a unique and special way.
Historical hotels are generally located in the most popular places in the centre; this is the case with InterContinental Amstel on Leidseplein or Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky on Dam Square. Choosing a luxury hotel that is located in the centre certainly has its comforts in terms of proximity to the major points of attraction.
There are many services offered for guests in a luxury hotel: from early check-in to room service, from a transfer service to and from the airport to a private butler.
A typical comfort that is also respected in Amsterdam’s luxury hotels is that they offer an excellent catering service to their guests. In fact, many establishments have some of the best-rated restaurants in the city. The cuisine on offer ranges from international dishes to those more local or related to the origins of the chef in charge of the kitchen.
Among the most recognised restaurants are the Tunes Restaurant at Hotel Conservatorium, the Serre at Hotel Okura and the two-Michelin-starred Librije’s Zusje at Hotel Waldorf Astoria.
Another comfort increasingly offered by luxury hotels is to include a wellness centre in their facilities. There are those, like the Sofitel Legend, which provides a spa path within its premises, or those, like Hotel Okura, which, in the absence of a space within its structure, offers free entrance to fitness centres and discounts for access to external wellness centres.
Among Amsterdam’s luxury hotels, each maintains its own tradition and style, so that a certain fixed clientele is maintained. The choice of hotels is therefore vast and each visitor can find the hotel that best suits his or her needs, leaving aside the wallet for a moment.
