The Dylan Amsterdam
Netherlands
The Dylan Amsterdam is tucked behind a historic gateway on the Keizersgracht, in the heart of the Nine Streets. Its canal-house setting combines a central address with an enclosed garden that gives the hotel a quieter interior world. Rooms and suites are individually designed, with different layouts and views towards the canal, garden or atrium. Duplex accommodation and varied interior styles make the choice of room part of the experience rather than simply a decision about size. Vinkeles adds a substantial dining reason to stay, pairing contemporary French cooking with the building's historic character. The surrounding neighbourhood supplies another kind of appeal: small shops, cafés and walks along the canals begin immediately beyond the entrance. The Dylan is well suited to travellers who value an intimate hotel and a recognisable sense of Amsterdam. Its combination of private garden, individual rooms and canal-front location gives a short city stay several layers.
