Book NowEden Amsterdam-American Review
Housed in one of the city's most fancifully designed buildings—one that is said to form the missing link between Art Nouveau and the Amsterdam School—the American (the name everyone knows it by) is a beloved Amsterdam landmark. Directly on Leidseplein, this 1902 castlelike structure is an agglomeration of Neo-Gothic turrets, Jugenstil gables, Art Deco stained glass, and an Arts and Crafts clock tower. Gloriously overlooking the Stadhouderskade (the reason the hotel has its own boat landing), this place is near everything—nightlife, dining, sightseeing, and shopping. Guest rooms are sizable, bright, and furnished in a modern Art Deco style, and you have a choice between canal and bustling-square views—the latter option having the bonus of small balconies. Newlyweds might want to indulge in the Mata Hari Honeymoon Suite, which is named after the spy fatale who celebrated her own wedding here.
