Smart Splurge
Hotel 717 overflows with classic romance and the property’s eight large and elegant canal-side suites are sure to please. Gorgeous period antiques, in both common areas and guest rooms, evoke the city’s rich past while modern graces like Chopard bath products, Bang and Olufsen DVD players,… more and a library of musical CDs assure contemporary comfort. Extras elsewhere (ironing, shoe shines, house wines, afternoon tea and pastries, in-room refreshment cabinets, and sumptuous made to-order breakfasts) are included here, making it a premier choice for those in the know. And should you manage to pry yourself from this luxurious Amsterdam abode, posh shops, the city’s famous museums, and the hopping nightlife of the Leidseplein are only steps away.
