This was the standout hotel experience of our recent trip to Europe. From the moment we entered the staff was helpful, attentive, and professional. Being greeted with a refresher and towelette in the lovely, richly decorated sitting area while our bags were shuttled to our room was such a relief. Our room was apportioned well, large enough to move freely, dual sinks, large mirrors, daylight streaming through a tall window, fully enclosed toilet room and in-room shower tub, overhead and hand wash wand. The bed was comfortable and large, king size. Drapes kept the room dark when needing privacy. Good robes and large towels. We enjoyed the artwork and the style of interior decorating, modern and yet historic. We did not try the breakfast, the location was so convene that we found plenty of options nearby for food and little snacks throughout the day. Lovely patio outdoor area with a tea house and fountains with plenty of seating. Relaxing and we felt immersed in Amsterdam while visiting. Would visit again. Wonderful stay.
