Along the Prinsengracht, in the heart of Amsterdam’s celebrated UNESCO-listed canal district, Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht offers a bold vision of lifestyle hospitality. Set within a former public library, this five-star hotel imagined by Dutch designer Marcel Wanders transforms Dutch history into a creative universe where art, design and imagination meet with elegance. Wallpapers inspired by the Dutch Golden Age, playful references to Delft Blue, tulip-shaped armchairs and contemporary artworks create a distinctive atmosphere where every space becomes a visual discovery. The 122 rooms and suites extend this immersive experience with daring décor and privileged views over the canals, the hidden garden or the central atrium. Just steps from the “Nine Streets”, the Jordaan district and the Van Gogh Museum, the hotel stands as a vibrant base from which to explore Amsterdam.

Best Gastronomy: Dining takes on a new dimension at Renvy, the restaurant conceived with chef Randy Karman. Inspired by his Dutch roots and the rhythm of the seasons, the cuisine highlights local ingredients through contemporary compositions, with menus evolving alongside nature. In the dining room opening onto the contemplative garden, the open kitchen transforms raw ingredients into elegant plates. In the evening, the Prins & Aap bar extends the experience with creative cocktails crafted in collaboration with Nikos Bakoulis, co-founder of one of the bars featured in the World’d 50 Best Bars.
