Hotel Okura Amsterdam
Netherlands
Hotel Okura Amsterdam brings a Japanese hospitality tradition to the edge of De Pijp. Its twenty-three-storey building rises above a neighbourhood of cafés, shops and restaurants, giving the hotel a different outlook from Amsterdam's smaller canal houses. Dining is one of its strongest reasons to stay. Yamazato follows the traditions of kaiseki, Ciel Bleu serves international cooking above the city, and Serre provides a more relaxed waterside brasserie setting. The selection allows guests to move between contrasting styles without leaving the property. Nagomi Gym & Wellness includes a heated indoor pool, saunas and fitness facilities. These spaces add a quieter dimension to a stay, particularly after a day spent exploring the city. Okura suits visitors who value a substantial range of facilities and a strong food programme. Its De Pijp position also encourages time in a residential Amsterdam neighbourhood alongside the more familiar sights of the centre.
