The hype
Guests are obsessed with the river views and the concierge service, but many balk at the high price of breakfast.
De L'europe Amsterdam
$600-1200/ notte
Prenota se You want the quintessential 'Grand Dame' experience with a modern, eco-conscious twist right on the Amstel River.
Perché piace così tanto
- The terrace at Brasserie Marie is arguably the best waterside seat in the city
- Flore's 2-Michelin-star 'conscious' tasting menu is a legitimate culinary destination
- Freddy's Bar feels like stepping into a private gentleman's club from 1900
In sintesi: It's undeniably expensive and the 'designer' furniture in some suites prioritizes form over function, but the location and history are unbeatable.
Recensito da @gregkiep: I stayed in this suite at De L'Europe and honestly, opening the windows to the canal was the highlight of my trip. The room feels incredibly grand yet cozy. If you want that classic Amsterdam luxury experience, this is the place.
