"An Amsterdam landmark, which began with a coffee shop in the 1860s, and expanded in fits and starts through various buildings to form a grand hotel on the city’s main square." Full review

"A new spa, a leafy courtyard garden, and carefully tailored experiences that show off the best of the Dutch capital: canal cruises in an antique saloon boat, private dining in a field of tulips"
