Fodor's Review:
This local landmark sports the largest barometer in the Netherlands; every day after the sun goes down, the building forecasts the next day's weather by changing color. Inside, there's a cavernous, dramatic lobby with inch-thick carpeting, guest rooms with dark-wood furniture and flat-screen TVs, and two marvelous, Michelin-starred restaurants to choose from: Yamazato ($$$$), serving Japanese food that's touted as the best in the city, and the classic French Le Ciel Bleu ($$$$). One interesting extra that's sure to help you get back on your feet if you've arrived after a long flight is the hotel's jet-lag program, which uses light therapy to help you adjust to your new surroundings. Pros: wonderful rooms, cozy top-floor bar, close to many dining options. Cons: lacks a personal touch, staff can have difficulties with simple requests.
