Fodor's Review:
Owned by Freddy Heineken's daughter, Charlene de Carvalho, this quiet, gracious, and plush hotel has a history extending back to 1638 (although its delightful, storybook facade dates only to the 19th century). Overlooking the Amstel River, the Muntplein, and the Flower Market, it may be familiar to those who remember the setting of Hitchcock's Foreign Correspondent. The chandeliered lobby leads off to the lounge, aglow with gold-trimmed ceiling coves and blackamoor lamps—the perfect setting for high tea (served in full glory here). Guest rooms are furnished with reserved, classical elegance: the city-side rooms are full of warm, rich colors; riverside rooms are in brilliant whites and have French windows. All have Victorian-style draperies as canopies over the beds. The restaurant's fine French food is ooh-la-la. Pros: Statuesque building, cozy bar serving free snacks, balconies perfect for people-watching. Cons: Cavernous yet largely unused lobby area, outdated room furnishings.
