Fodor's Expert Review Grand Hotel Amrâth Amsterdam
Prins Hendrikkade 108, Amsterdam, North Holland, 1011 AK, Netherlands
A stay at the former office of the major Dutch shipping companies ensures quiet luxury in the city center: glorious from the outside, with stone and brick decoration, the hotel's public spaces and guest quarters retain the distinctive style and warm colors of the Amsterdam School, a Dutch version of Art Nouveau. Original sculptures, wood paneling, and stained-glass art remain in lounges and the lovely breakfast room.
