Amsterdam Hotels

The perfect size for a weekend break – much to explore but not overwhelming - compact Amsterdam has a lot more to offer than the canals, coffee shops and carousing it's renowned for. A beguiling lace work of waterways, you'll find 17th-century houses, design-savvy boutiques and enchanting antique emporiums, as well as artist studios and a host of fascinating museums.

From Van Gogh to Vondelpark, the 'Venice of the North' is an endless treasure trove of secrets that keeps loyal visitors running (or peddling) back for more time and time again.
