Fodor's Expert Review Hard Rock Hotel Amsterdam American

Leidsekade 97, Amsterdam, North Holland, 1017 PN, Netherlands

Dating back to 1903, this historic building nestled between Stadhouderskade and Leidseplein is a noteworthy UNESCO Heritage site—it underwent a transformative renovation in 2020 that pays homage to its gorgeous Art Deco heritage while tying in modern accents and musical memorabilia from stars like John Lennon, Slash, and Elton John. The rock-star inspired rooms are available in a variety of sizes, from intimate rooms to expansive suites, and now each features the Hard Rock’s signature amenities. Downstairs, the classic Café Americain is a great spot for breakfast, lunch, or a cocktail before hitting the town.
