Amsterdam five-star hotels
Amsterdam Renaissance Hotel
This newly renovated five-star hotel has two amenities that its competitors lack:
an authentic 'brown café' that existed before the hotel was built, and a 17th Century domed
church with a working organ and carved wooden pulpit that serves as a conference
center. (See our illustrated
Amsterdam Renaissance
Hotel review.)
Hotel
InterContinental Amstel
This luxury hotel has catered to the rich and famous since 1867.
Hotel de l'Europe
Service and intimacy are the focus here. The hotel has just 100 rooms, an
elegant 19th Century decor, and enough modern amenities so you won't think
you've been trapped in the Victorian Era.
Golden
Tulip Jan Tabak
In the summer, you can eat breakfast on the garden terrace of this modern
87-room hotel in a residential district of Amsterdam. The hotel has a tennis
court and a garage with free parking.
Grand
Hotel Krasnapolsky
With 429 rooms and a location facing the Royal Palace, the Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky is
favored by upscale tours and business groups.
Le
Méridien Apollo
The former Apollo Pavilion opened in 1928, when Amsterdam hosted the Olympic
Games. It became a hotel in 1962, and today it offers 201 rooms and 18 suites
plus assorted bars and restaurants. It's located in the Museum Quarter, just
beyond the city center.
Hotel
Pulitzer
Two canals frame the Sheraton Pulitzer, which has 230 rooms, suites, and apartments in 24 restored
17th and 18th Century houses. The hotel has a garden, and many rooms have oak ceiling
beams.
NH
Amsterdam Centre Hotel
This modern 229-room luxury hotel is opposite the Leidseplein near the
Rijksmuseum. Two restaurants are on the premises, and a parking garage is within
walking distance. (Note: The NH Amsterdam Centre should not be confused with the
three-star
NH City Centre Hotel.)
NH
Barbizon Palace
The flagship hotel of Golden Tulip International is built behind the façades
of 19 historic buildings from the 17th and 18th Centuries. Many of its 275 rooms
incorporate the original oak beams and rafters. The Barbizon Palace is located
across the street from Centraal Station, and you can park in the underground
garage or arrive by boat at the private landing.
