Michelin Guide "It is just perfect for art loving Amsterdam!"
Concierge "The Ambassade isn't the most stylishly renovated of Amsterdam's Golden Age hotels, but the privately-owned landmark beats out the competition."
Lonely Planet Top Choice

"Ambassade Hotel's lovely brick front is as inviting as its location in the picturesque (and convenient) Canal Ring neighorhood, across from a boat-lined canal." Full review
DK Eyewitness "With its long literary associations, this is the bookworm’s choice of lodgings: the library is lined with signed copies from the numerous authors who have stayed here."
Rough Guide "Elegant canalside hotel made up of ten seventeenth-century houses with smartly furnished lounges, a well-stocked library and comfortable en-suite rooms."
Star Service "On a beautiful canal in a residential neighborhood in the heart of Amsterdam, this exceedingly popular traditional hotel blends old school B&B style with a cozy residential feel." Full review

If possible, avoid the smaller Classic rooms and book a Deluxe room with a roomier sitting area and more enviable canalside location.
Time Out "This literary hotel arranged across ten canal houses is the place to bump in to your favourite author." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "If more proof were needed of the Ambassade's – comprised of 10 18th century buildings -- significance, its central location on the Herengracht is a UNESCO World Heritage site." Full review

Choose canal-side rooms in this quiet part of town.

Michelin Guide "The handsome Berlage architeaure of this hotel hints at the elegant accommodation on offer here."
Concierge "Instead of relying on high design as so many other new places in the Dutch capital do, it's taking a shot at being the coziest, comfiest hotel in town."
Travel + Leisure "Located on the Herengracht Canal, the Banks Mansion is a stately white-columned hotel housing 51 rooms, many of which display serene water views." Full review
DK Eyewitness "In an imposing former bank, this hotel is all-inclusive: everything, from the Internet to movies to the minibar, is free."
Star Service "Flirty and fun fashion is the foundation for this postcard boutique-hotel for young couples. It is a more conservative version of the Toren and Ambassade." Full review
Time Out "Once you check in to this grand hotel in a former bank building, everything is yours to choose." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"You get far more than a fancy bed here: tipples are complimentary at the self-service wet bar in the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed lobby." Full review
