Best Luxury Hotels in Dam Square

The Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam is one of Amsterdam’s most renowned and historic hotels. It is so quintessentially Dutch that it even has cultivated its own Tulip.

If you prefer large scale fashionable luxury, the 238 bedroom W will suit you. One of its buildings is a former telephone exchange, the other a bank. But in contrast to many of the city’s competitors, it eschews vintage in favour of contemporary furnishings. Bright rooms include espresso machines and funky Marshall sound systems. Its rooftop lounge is a defining feature, the place to party and sip cocktails with a view. Or descend to the moodily lit, subterranean spa, hidden behind a large vaulted door. W has three restaurants, Mr Porter, The Butcher and The (Michelin-starred) Duchess.
