A canal house with windows overlooking the water, a bedroom tucked beneath timber beams, a terrace beside the park. Amsterdam’s boutique hotels offer plenty of ways to make yourself at home. Our collection brings together grand historic addresses, intimate neighbourhood stays and a quieter escape in Durgerdam, where the city gives way to open water.

Head out for museums and markets, take a detour through the smaller canal streets, then find a table for a long lunch. Back at the hotel, settle into a courtyard or stay for dinner downstairs. These are places that deserve a little space in your itinerary, even when Amsterdam gives you every excuse to keep exploring.
