The Best Hotels In Amsterdam's City Center For 2021

See this content in the original post

In this post, I'm answering the BIG question ~ Where to stay in Amsterdam? For this hotel guide, I have selected the best luxury hotels in Amsterdam's city center. The hotels I chose to feature here are close to the city center and therefore high-scale and more expensive. They do offer great value for money in my opinion and contribute to an unforgettable stay.

Amsterdam has a wide variety of accommodations on offer that cater to all tastes and budgets, for example, is it traditional features you seek? You can stay in a converted 17th-century canal house, are you looking for something more outside the box? Stay in a unique boutique hotel, you can also choose a modern hotel or a designer plush hotel.

Why stay in the city center?

Amsterdam

This is where the magic happens! At the heart of Amsterdam, you will find beautiful canal rings to explore, typical Dutch architecture to admire, museums, many bars, restaurants, and of course shopping. The biggest advantage is that you will be within walking distance of all the major attractions Amsterdam has to offer. If you are in Amsterdam for the first time I would suggest staying here rather than staying in one of the suburbs.

NOTE: I chose not to feature prices for these hotels due to COVID-19. The regulations have caused many changes and measures hotels had to take also affecting the prices and availability. Please check what applies to your visit.
