"Chain hotel catering mainly to corporate customers in the business district."
Frommer's
"Amsterdam's most personal five-star hotel is set in a leafy corner along the Amstelkanaal." Full review

Because of its excellent restaurant, the Garden considers itself a "culinary hotel," an idea that extends to the rooms, whose color schemes are salad-green, salmon-pink, cherry-red, and grape-blue -- you can choose whichever suits you best.

"On a quiet canal in an upmarket residential area, this hotel... feels deliciously isolated, yet it is just a short walk from Museumplein."
Star Service
"Located in a quiet residential area, across the street from the Hilton, a few minutes from the RAI and WTC centers, this is certainly a good hotel, with an emphasis on dining in Mangerie de Kersentuin." Full review

"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.
Gayot
