DK Eyewitness "Once inside the courtyard, guests are cocooned in luxury. Everything you expect from a deluxe hotel is here: marble bathrooms, spacious rooms and discreet service."
Michelin Guide "Maria de Medici once stayed in this superb historic building, formerly Amsterdam's town hall. Stylish, refurbished guestrooms, lounges and a beautiful courtyard."

Superiors are the standard category, but many face the canal so be sure to request these in advance.

Michelin Guide "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.
DK Eyewitness "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
Fodor's "This bulky, modern hotel, with spacious rooms and a well-regarded restaurant, looms over a tree-lined street within walking distance of the Concertgebouw and Vondelpark." Full review
