5-star hotels in Amsterdam
A shortlist of the 5-star hotels in Amsterdam, all of them rated 4.7 or higher by guests and all set within the canal ring or just beyond it. It is for travellers who want the city's top category of hotel for a couple's break, a family stay or a business trip.
Staying in Amsterdam
Amsterdam's five-star hotels sit in the historic heart of the city, along the canals and around Dam Square, with one on the eastern edge at Mauritskade. Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam, Luxury Suites Amsterdam, Hotel TwentySeven, Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam, Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht By Hyatt and The Dylan Amsterdam all have addresses in the canal ring, on the Herengracht, Oudeschans, Dam, Oudezijds Voorburgwal, Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht. Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Maurits at the Park Small Luxury Hotels stands further east on Mauritskade, beside the parkland that rings the centre.
For couples, the smaller canal houses such as The Dylan Amsterdam and Hotel TwentySeven offer quiet, intimate settings, while the larger properties such as Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam suit guests who want pools, spas and business facilities on site. Families are served by the hotels with family rooms, and business travellers by those with business centres, lifts, 24-hour front desks and parking or garages. A short break can be built around any of them, since every hotel on this list sits within the canal ring or a short distance from it.
