Amsterdam Guide: Overview, Hotels & Travel Writing

About Amsterdam

Amsterdam manages to be chic, kooky and elegantly antiquated all at once. The Golden Age masterpieces of the Rijksmuseum and the Impressionist painting of Van Gogh attract culture-vultures; the nightlife lures in the party people and the luxury hotels a well-heeled, fashionable crowd.

We've sought out the best luxury hotels in Amsterdam, and thrown in a few boutique hotels for good measure. Our first-hand reviews should help you to pick out the perfect one. And of course, no trip to this city would be complete without a guide to the best museums, galleries and cafes to help you on your way.
