Old-world elegance attracts stars and royalty to this legendary 67-room hotel on the Amstel River featuring a spa, indoor pool (very unusual for Amsterdam), and a Turkish bath. In the rooms, expect floral patterns, grand, classical furnishings and marble bathrooms. The hotel’s La Rive restaurant – one of the few in Amsterdam in the Michelin guide – is a generously proportioned spot with decorous service and a French-Mediterranean menu.
