Your guide to the best luxury hotels in Amsterdam
Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam · GrachtengordelWhich of the best hotels in Amsterdam suits you depends on your plans, because the luxury hotels in Amsterdam are as different as their neighborhoods. For couples and food lovers, we recommend the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam on the Herengracht: six 17th-century canal palaces with a large garden and a spa with an indoor pool. Right on Dam Square, you stay at Hotel TwentySeven Amsterdam, a hotel with just 16 suites and the Michelin-starred restaurant Bougainville.Families feel at home at the Pulitzer Amsterdam: 25 connected canal houses with quiet inner gardens, and on Sundays a supervised playroom awaits at the restaurant Jansz. If you want to live history, sleep at the Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam in the Rembrandt Suite, on the very wall where the Night Watch hung for 70 years.
At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
New and freshly renovated: what the luxury hotels in Amsterdam offer you today
In the former Palace of Justice on the Prinsengracht, the Rosewood Amsterdam has welcomed guests since May 2025, after about ten years of restoration and as the brand’s first hotel in the Netherlands. Studio Piet Boon designed the interiors, landscape architect Piet Oudolf the garden De Tuin, and in the Asaya Spa you swim in a 12-meter indoor pool. At the Advocatuur bar, the jenever is distilled in-house.
Rosewood Amsterdam · LeidsepleinThe former Conservatorium Hotel on Museumplein has a new name: since January 2026, Mandarin Oriental has run it as the Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium Hotel Amsterdam, its first hotel in the Netherlands. Under the glass roof of the atrium, Ottolenghi Amsterdam serves seasonal sharing plates, Yotam Ottolenghi’s first restaurant in the country. Rooms and suites are being renewed step by step since 2026, starting with the Deluxe Rooms.
The Renaissance Amsterdam Hotel on Kattengat feels brand new: after a complete transformation finished at the end of 2025, its rooms tell the stories of Rembrandt, Janssen and Mercator. On the roof, CIMA Rooftop Bar serves Mexican small plates, and the Janine bakery bakes sourdough in a wood-fired oven. At the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam on the Herengracht, Goldfinch Brasserie has served dinner overlooking the garden since June 2026; a new fine-dining concept is announced for 2027.
Two classics among the luxury hotels in Amsterdam have been refreshed. The Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam has carried the Tivoli name since 2023, with new beds, Lalique bath products and the restaurant Omber, whose dishes reference Rembrandt’s color palette. At De L’Europe Amsterdam on the Amstel, the studio Nicemakers redesigned rooms, restaurants and bar in 2020; in the ’t Huys wing, 14 suites were created with Amsterdam partners such as the Van Gogh Museum.
New places to eat and go out: at the Kimpton De Witt Amsterdam near Central Station, NENI Centrum now serves Eastern Mediterranean sharing plates, and the cocktail bar Super Lyan ranks No. 42 on Europe’s 50 Best Bars 2026. By the Oosterpark, the Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Maurits At The Park Amsterdam opened in 2022; Gault&Millau named its Fitz’s Bar Cocktail Bar of the Year 2026.
These luxury hotels in Amsterdam have a pool – in the spa, by the river and on the roof
In Amsterdam, you mostly swim indoors: nearly all hotel pools are in the spa, heated and open all year, perfect for the evening after a day on the bike or in the museums. If you choose your 5-star hotel in Amsterdam by its pool, you decide between a canal palace, the banks of the Amstel and the museum district.
Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam · Burgwallen Nieuwe ZijdeOn the canals: at the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam, the indoor pool is in the spa next to the fitness area, and the Van Loon Suite opens directly into the spa. At the Rosewood Amsterdam, you swim in the 12-meter pool of the Asaya Spa with a jacuzzi next to it; children are welcome in the water from 8 am to 4 pm.
In the old town: the Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam in the former City Hall has a heated indoor pool with sauna and hammam. At De L’Europe Amsterdam on the Amstel, the spa includes a heated indoor pool and a jacuzzi, free for hotel guests.
On the Amstel, in De Pijp and on Museumplein: at the InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam, the heated pool sits at river level and you watch the boats go by. The Hotel Okura Amsterdam has an 18-meter pool at 28 °C under a skylight. At the Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium Hotel Amsterdam on Museumplein, you swim your laps over 18 meters too, next to a heated Watsu pool; children aged 3 to 14 have their own family swim times.
Swimming outdoors, even in winter
Out in the open air, you swim on the WET Deck of the W Amsterdam by Dam Square: the rooftop pool is heated all year and sits next to the W Lounge with views over the rooftops. The pool is long but narrow – better for cooling off and relaxing than for swimming laps.
Spa & wellness at a 5-star hotel in Amsterdam: hammam, bank vaults and Ayurveda
Big spa worlds: the Akasha spa at the Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium Hotel Amsterdam covers about 1,000 m², with an indoor pool, Watsu pool, Finnish sauna, hammam and yoga studio; the World Spa Awards 2025 named it Netherlands Best Hotel Spa. At the Rosewood Amsterdam, the Asaya Spa combines Ayurveda-inspired treatments with modern therapies, plus Pilates, barre and yoga, also on the roof.

Dining in Amsterdam’s luxury hotels: Michelin stars, kaiseki and cocktail bars
Two Michelin stars go to Flore, Vinkeles and Ciel Bleu. At Flore in De L’Europe Amsterdam, Bas van Kranen cooks seasonally with Dutch produce, as an Omnivore menu or fully plant-based as Herbivore, and there is a Michelin Green Star on top. Vinkeles at The Dylan Amsterdam occupies an 18th-century bakery, where Jurgen van der Zalm cooks French cuisine; the second star came in 2023. At the Hotel Okura Amsterdam, Ciel Bleu serves fine dining on the 23rd floor with views over the city.
De L’Europe Amsterdam · Burgwallen Nieuwe ZijdeOne star goes to Bougainville at Hotel TwentySeven Amsterdam, overlooking Dam Square; chef Tim Golsteijn earned it one year after the hotel opened.

Fine dining and bistros in Amsterdam’s luxury hotels: at the Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam, Raoul Meuwese cooks French cuisine with fish and seasonal produce at Bridges, rated 16 out of 20 by Gault&Millau; the hotel’s Oriole Garden Bistro holds a Bib Gourmand 2025.

At the Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam, the Omber Bar mixes with jenever from Wynand Fockink, including a Night Watch cocktail from a 17th-century recipe. In the Vault Bar of the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam, you drink in the former vault of the MeesPierson bank, and at the Kimpton De Witt Amsterdam, Super Lyan welcomes you into a 17th-century house.
For a Michelin-star dinner without a taxi

Flore at De L’Europe Amsterdam serves dinner Wednesday to Saturday and lunch on Friday and Saturday; Vinkeles at The Dylan Amsterdam and Ciel Bleu at the Hotel Okura Amsterdam open for dinner only. Our travel advisors will gladly coordinate your arrival and reservation.
Luxury hotels in Amsterdam with a history: City Hall, Palace of Justice and canal palaces
Many extraordinary hotels in Amsterdam occupy buildings with a very different past. The Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam goes back to two convents of 1411; later royal guests lodged here, then the Admiralty moved in and, for almost 180 years, the city’s City Hall. It has been a hotel since 1992; the marriage chamber and a 1949 mural by Karel Appel survive, and a free tour of the building starts every day at 11 am. If you want a 5-star hotel in Amsterdam with real city history, this is the place.
Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam · BinnenstadThe grand hotels of the 19th century: in 1866, the Polish tailor Adolph Wilhelm Krasnapolsky took over a coffee house on Dam Square and by 1883 had expanded it into a hotel, among the first in the city with hot water and a telephone in every room; today it is the Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam. The InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam opened on April 27, 1867 as a grand hotel on the Amstel, commissioned by the physician and city planner Samuel Sarphati. De L’Europe Amsterdam has stood on the Amstel since 1896, on the site of the 1482 defense tower Het Rondeel; Freddy Heineken fell in love with it in the 1950s and bought it.
Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam · CenterRembrandt, Sisi and the Beatles: a hotel has stood on the Binnen-Amstel since 1815, on the site of the Kloveniersdoelen militia hall where Rembrandt’s Night Watch once hung. Today’s Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam, in Neo-Renaissance style, dates from 1883. Empress Sisi stayed here, the Beatles in 1964, and in 1909 the city’s first canal tour set off from the hotel.
Living in a canal house: the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam joins six canal palaces on the Herengracht, built between 1665 and 1687 for mayors and merchants; the historic staircase was designed by Daniel Marot, architect of Louis XIV. The Dylan Amsterdam stands on the site of the stone city theater that Jacob van Campen was commissioned to build in 1632 and that burned down during a performance in 1772. At the Pulitzer Amsterdam, Peter Pulitzer, grandson of Joseph Pulitzer, turned twelve dilapidated canal houses into a hotel in 1970; today there are 25.
- Breakfast for two, every day
- Room upgrade subject to availability
- Hotel credit, e.g. US$100

- VIP service and personal advice

Palace of Justice, bank and university: the Rosewood Amsterdam occupies a 1665 building on the Prinsengracht that long served as the city’s Palace of Justice. The Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium Hotel Amsterdam moved into the former Rijkspostspaarbank of 1901; from 1985 to 2008 the Sweelinck Conservatory practiced here, and the hotel moved in in 2011. The Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Maurits At The Park Amsterdam is housed in a listed 1908 university building by the Oosterpark.
Newspapers, diamonds and a poet: at the INK Hotel Amsterdam on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, once Amsterdam’s newspaper street, the Catholic daily De Tijd had its home until 1974; typewriters and 1904 blueprints recall it. The Sir Albert Hotel Amsterdam in De Pijp occupies a former diamond factory whose high ceilings and large windows once served the diamond polishers. At the Kimpton De Witt Amsterdam, you can sleep in the 17th-century Little House, the childhood home of the poet P.C. Hooft, today a suite on three floors.
Award-winning luxury hotels in Amsterdam: Michelin Keys and Forbes
Michelin Keys recognize hotels, not restaurants. Two Michelin Keys go to four hotels in Amsterdam: Hotel TwentySeven Amsterdam with just 16 suites on Dam Square, the Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam with its Rembrandt Suite, the Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Maurits At The Park Amsterdam by the Oosterpark and the Rosewood Amsterdam in the former Palace of Justice.
Hotel TwentySeven Amsterdam · BinnenstadOne Key goes to The Dylan Amsterdam on the Keizersgracht, home of the two-star restaurant Vinkeles, and to the Pulitzer Amsterdam in 25 canal houses near the Nine Streets.
In the Forbes Travel Guide, the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam holds five stars and De L’Europe Amsterdam four stars. The guide lists six more luxury hotels in Amsterdam as Recommended, including the Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam and the InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam.
Memberships stand for a particular style: De L’Europe Amsterdam and the Hotel Okura Amsterdam belong to The Leading Hotels of the World, Hotel TwentySeven Amsterdam and the Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Maurits At The Park Amsterdam to Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
Where to stay in Amsterdam: Dam Square, the canal ring, Museumplein, De Pijp or Oost – the right location for your 5-star hotel
The center is compact: on foot, by bike or by tram, you reach almost everything within minutes. So choose your luxury hotel in Amsterdam by the rhythm you are after – old-town lanes, quiet canals, museums or a neighborhood with a market and cafés.
W Amsterdam · De WallenDam Square: the square with the Royal Palace and the National Monument is the heart of the old town. Here we recommend Hotel TwentySeven Amsterdam, overlooking the palace, and the Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam, a grand hotel with a Wintergarden; on Spuistraat, right next to Dam Square, the W Amsterdam has a rooftop pool.
Kimpton De Witt Amsterdam · BinnenstadBetween Dam Square and Central Station: around Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, you stay a few minutes’ walk from Amsterdam Centraal. Our tip: the Kimpton De Witt Amsterdam, with an evening wine hour and free bikes, and the INK Hotel Amsterdam in the former newspaper building, with a courtyard garden.
Burgwallen and Binnen-Amstel: south of Dam Square lie the old canals of the Oude Zijde and the banks of the Amstel. Here you stay at the Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam in the former City Hall between Oudezijds Voorburgwal and Oudezijds Achterburgwal, at the Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam on the Binnen-Amstel, or at De L’Europe Amsterdam opposite the National Opera.
Canal ring between Leidseplein and Reguliersgracht: on the Herengracht and Prinsengracht, you stay in a UNESCO World Heritage site, close to Museumplein and Leidseplein. For garden and spa we recommend the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam, for design the Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht by Marcel Wanders in the former public library, and for art the Rosewood Amsterdam with more than 1,000 works in the house.
Western canal ring and the Nine Streets: between the Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht, small shops and cafés line the streets, and the Jordaan begins just across the Prinsengracht. Here we recommend The Dylan Amsterdam with its courtyard garden and two-star cuisine, the Pulitzer Amsterdam in 25 canal houses and the Canal House Amsterdam, three merchants’ houses with a large private garden.

At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
Museumplein and Vondelpark: the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk and Concertgebouw sit side by side, plus the boutiques of P.C. Hooftstraat. Directly opposite the Stedelijk, you stay at the Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium Hotel Amsterdam; on Stadhouderskade at the Park Centraal Amsterdam with the restaurant MOMO; and on Leidseplein at the Amsterdam Marriott Hotel.
De Pijp and Zuid: south of the center, Amsterdam turns lively and down-to-earth, with the Albert Cuyp Market and plenty of cafés. The Hotel Okura Amsterdam offers Michelin-starred dining on the 23rd floor, the Sir Albert Hotel Amsterdam is a few steps from the market, and the Apollo Hotel Amsterdam in Amsterdam-Zuid sits at a junction of five canals near the RAI and the World Trade Center – handy for trade fairs and business meetings.
East bank of the Amstel and Oost: across the Amstel, the city becomes greener and quieter. The InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam has stood on the east bank since 1867, near the Royal Theater Carré, and by the Oosterpark, next to the Tropenmuseum, the Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Maurits At The Park Amsterdam has its own jetty for canal cruises.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
Among the luxury hotels in Amsterdam, the address says little about the price. On Nieuwe Doelenstraat, the Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam at 331 € and De L’Europe Amsterdam at 553 € are almost next door to each other; on Dam Square, the Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam is at 369 € and Hotel TwentySeven Amsterdam at 850 €. So choose your 5-star hotel in Amsterdam by your daily routes: the old town around Dam Square, calm on the canals, museums on Museumplein, markets in De Pijp.

Amsterdam through the seasons: in summer the garden terraces open, such as the inner courtyard of the Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam or the Spritz Garden of the InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam right on the Amstel. In fall and winter, spas, indoor pools and afternoon tea take center stage, and on the roof of the W Amsterdam you swim in the heated pool all year.
How long to stay: for a 5-star hotel in Amsterdam we recommend three to four nights – for the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum, a canal cruise, an afternoon in the Vondelpark and long evenings in the Nine Streets or in De Pijp.

Where should I stay in Amsterdam?
Which location suits your 5-star hotel in Amsterdam depends on your plans: Dam Square for the old town (recommendation: Hotel TwentySeven Amsterdam), the canal ring for quiet evenings by the water (recommendation: Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam), Museumplein for art and concerts (recommendation: Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium Hotel Amsterdam) and Oost for the park and some calm (recommendation: Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Maurits At The Park Amsterdam).
Which 5-star hotel in Amsterdam is in the city center?
Right in the old town, we recommend two five-star hotels: the Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam in the former City Hall between two canals, with a spa and a heated indoor pool, and De L’Europe Amsterdam on the Amstel opposite the National Opera, with the two-star restaurant Flore. On the canal ring near the Nine Streets, The Dylan Amsterdam also holds five stars.
