Amsterdam is a city of rich helpings in small portions. Past glories, present pizazz and an effervescent spirit come packed into rows of gabled houses, on crisscrossing canals, at a walkable (or cyclable) scale. A boutique hotel fits right in with the mood, and Amsterdam offers some gems – jewels that sparkle individually with the city’s varied facets: its history, the hipness, the inventive zaniness that it’s famous for.
An intimate boutique hotel takes you straight to the essence of Amsterdam. You’ll find places replete with fine antiques, or showing off a young designer’s dream; cosy pads with a friendly, domestic atmosphere, and quirky paeans to an eccentric idea (plus a tweak of dry humour). They may come with a story to tell, be squeezed in shoulder-to-shoulder with others along a canal, or – in one case – spread out in bridge houses all across town. Here’s our pick of the best boutique hotels in Amsterdam.
