...atrium space in the centre of the hotel. Pulitzer Tram numbers #13, #14 or #17 to Westermarkt. An entire row of seventeenth-century canal houses converted into a determinedly luxurious hotel that's often rated the best in Amsterdam. Subsidence over the centuries means that the inside of the hotel is a warren of steep stairs and crooked corridors, which only adds to its character. Individually decorated rooms are delightful and some have lift access; you're also spoilt for choice between canal views and windows overlooking the sumptuous internal courtyard. *Medium: £56-£112 per night Estherea Tram #1, #2 or #5 to Spui.
