The Bar/Lounge at The Dylan Amsterdam

"A cozy lounge, trendy brassier and bar, and lovely courtyard are all draws, but the real highlight here is the Michelin-starred Vinkeles restaurant, which serves contemporary French cuisine in an exclusive space"

"Every detail has been thought through, from the restaurant’s East-meets-West menu to the arrangement of the cushions in the bar"

"The Michelin-starred restaurant offers French cuisine and the bar is open to non-guests"

"For drinks and socializing, Bar Barbou provides an intimate setting and refreshing cocktails, while the Long Gallery is ideal for morning coffee and lunchtime dining"

"Around the corner from the lobby, you’ll find a comfortable lounge with a fireplace to relax"

"The public spaces nail it on all counts: the check-in desk is calm, the terrace garden is lovely on sunny days, and the lounge is warm and welcoming"

"The amenity roster is well-equipped with fans, working desks, flat-screen cable TVs, CD players (just ask the concierge), iPod docking stations, phones with voice mail and data ports, complimentary wireless high-speed Internet access, minibars, fax machines upon request and large closets with robes and umbrellas"
