Dikker and Thijs Fenice Review

"Lavish," "classical," and "cozy" are some of the adjectives typically used to describe this hotel, which has a regal address on the Prinsengracht Canal. The hotel first opened as a shop in 1895 and has been renowned for fine dining since its founder, A. W. Dikker, entered into a partnership in 1915 with H. Thijs, who apprenticed with the famous French chef Escoffier. The busy location—happily, all the majestic sash windows are double-glazed—is convenient to the major shopping areas and one block from the Leidseplein, the nightlife center of the city. The Art Deco-style rooms are fully modernized, although they retain a regal quality with dark-wood furniture, scarlet upholstery, and gilt-edged mirrors. Room 408 has a wonderful beamed ceiling. If the temptations of the canals overpower you, you can make use of the hotel's jetty.
