Amsterdam, with its spider’s web of canals, charming quarters, and quirky corners, is the place to eschew purpose-built hotels and go for buildings with a past: converted canalside mansions, old schools, former almshouses, and more. When it comes to our pick of the best hotels in Amsterdam, expect rooms of all shapes and sizes, interiors from the hip to the headily luxurious, and all manner of decor, from starkly minimalist to antique-store clutter and the summits of contemporary design. Their restaurants are often among the most adventurous in town, and the bars are way out front on the best bars in Amsterdam scene.
Which part of Amsterdam is best to stay?
For the quintessential Amsterdam experience, a hotel in the historic central Canal District, happening De Pijp, museum-filled Zuid or über-charming Jordaan is a must, but there are also great places to be found in quarters west and east of the center and across the water behind Amsterdam Centraal Station.
What are the best cheap hotels in Amsterdam?
One of our favorite affordable places to stay in Amsterdam is The Weavery, a cozy two-room B&B within walking distance of the Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum for modern art, and Rijksmuseum.
