This award winningly stylish hotel directly on the Keizersgracht, is a converted 17th century theater of landmark status.

Each of 40 individually designed rooms and suites is equally magnificent. The lively coloring of the Klassbol rooms, clad from top to bottom in raspberry red and elephant gray, seem simultaneously modest and luxurious, while the exposed wooden beams and natural hues of the Loft Rooms give guests a taste of old Amsterdam.

Though breakfast in the hotel’s flowery summer garden is wonderfully romantic on a nice day, the Dylan’s location in one of the city’s swankiest spots means that there are many other options for dining and shopping.
