Fodor's Expert Review The Dylan Amsterdam
Keizersgracht 384, 1016 GB, Netherlands Fodor's Choice
Lacquered trunks, mahogany screens, modernist hardwood tables, and luxurious upholstery all lend design flair to these lovely and relaxing canal-front quarters on the site of the historic 17th-century Municipal Theater. The best rooms command a view of a canal, while many overlook a serene central courtyard. The hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant, Vinkeles, offers a French menu in a voguish setting (dinner only). Chef Jurgen van der Zalm also cooks for the brasserie OCCO (lunch and dinner), with courtyard service in good weather; the High Wine, four small bites served with four wines (daily 3–4 pm) is highly recommended.
PROS
- A taste of old Amsterdam
- Beautiful rooms that mix traditional with contemporary
- Wonderful food and drink
CONS
- There is no spa or pool, though massages can be booked in-room
- Few rooms have canal views, though Courtyard views are charming, too
- Vinkeles has only nine tables, so it can be difficult to book
