NH Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Review

Until the Hilton came along, this hotel was Holland's biggest. As you'll see when you take a table in the Kras's soaringly beautiful Wintertuin (Winter Garden), Amsterdam's loveliest place for luncheon, it was also one of the best. Sitting in this masterpiece of 19th-century allure, replete with potted palms, greenhouse roof, Victorian chandeliers, and buffet tables stocked with cakes and roses, will make you feel like a countess or duke. Sadly, the rest of this 1866 landmark isn't as impressive. Unfortunately, a mishmash of revamping over the years was done with a progressively penurious attitude toward living space. Last renovated in 2003, the guest rooms—now numbering more than 468—vary greatly in size and tend toward disappointingly serviceable functionality. There are some memorable dining spots here, however; you can linger over a jenever cocktail at the Proeflokaal Wynand Fockink (Tasting House Wynand Fockink), enjoy French cuisine at Restaurant Reflet, or feast on Asian delights at the Shibli Bedoin restaurant.
