Fodor's Review:

Perfect for anyone into Amsterdam School-style architecture and design (basically art nouveau, but more sober), or looking for quiet luxury without unnecessary extravagance. Originally the office for the major Dutch shipping companies, the appropriately called "Shipping House" (Scheepvaarthuis) was reopened as the Amrâth Hotel in June 2007, after a massive renovation. Fortunately, almost all the original owners' symbols, sculptures, wood paneling and stained glass art remaineven the furniture, wallpaper patterns and signage. While the rooms themselves are everything you would expect, the public areas lack the grandeur often found in five-star hotels. The atmosphere may be studiously restrained but the service is friendly, professional, and prompt. Across from the Centraal Station and around the corner from the Red Light District, the Amrâth offers well-heeled customers a genuine Amsterdam experience. Pros: architecturally unique, intimate, impressive wellness center. Cons: modest public areas, small bar, diminutive entrance.

While not a five star hotel you will not be disappointed in the Grand. It has a perfect quiet location in the heart of Amsterdam close to everything.
