The look is soberly stylish, its exteriors rendered in sharp monochrome and its interiors spanning several distinct styles.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set along Keizersgracht in the Nine Streets, independent fashion boutiques, vintage storefronts, and canal-side cafes sit directly outside the gates.
The rooms
Loft suites tuck beneath historic timber roof beams, while Serendipity rooms feature custom oak vanities and freestanding soaking tubs.
The gym
The fitness studio is fitted with Technogym cardio equipment, and in-room massages can be arranged on request.
Bar Brasserie OCCO
The curved black marble bar serves craft cocktails and High Wine pairings beneath exposed ceiling beams.
There’s a laidback Dutch quality that permeates the luxury of The Dylan Amsterdam, a boutique hotel that favors comforting ambiance over flashy décor.
At the table
Two-Michelin-starred Vinkeles serves French tasting menus beside historic brick bread ovens, and tables spill out into the leafy courtyard.
How it began
Dating to 1637 as Amsterdam's first stone theater, the address served centuries as a charitable almshouse before becoming a boutique hotel.
“Entering through a small courtyard, guests discover a residential-style door where you feel as if you are visiting a friend’s home rather than a hotel.”
