Suzan added this to her wishlist – Opened this month (June 2011). New Boutique Hotel formula, exceptional rooms. For the interior of the hotel they worked together with Concreet and collaborations with designers like Marcel Wanders and Moooi design (for the lightning), Vitra (for the furniture).

And a great kitchen from what we have heard...also open for non hotel visitors. Healthy, fresh and organic ingredients are the keywords. The dishes all are inspired by the local products, with an European touch.

Tatler Travel Guide loved it! Good

– The front door, wide open, brings in city sounds of laughing children, passing boats and the chime from the Westerkerk clock tower.

Walk through it and the latest hotel by Jessica Sainsbury (also of L’Hotel and Cowley Manor) is all velvet and Vermeer. Amsterdam’s sunlit canals are sparkling this year with great new places to stay, but nowhere catches the mood better than this clever, indulgent den.

Perfectly positioned on Keizersgracht, one of the city’s most elegant waterways, three 17th-century merchant houses have been knocked together. Someone will check you in at a bar full of pale ales; there’s a dining room for shrimp bitterbal and lamb with Dutch asparagus, and, unusually, a garden.

There are pieces by Marcel Wanders, modern photographs and some splendours from Dutch dude designers Moooi.

The 23 bedrooms are warm with heavy silks; floors are wooden, timber beams original. There are good desks for working on and, for those who only play, hugely original Kid’s Boxes – treasure-chests of fairy tales and jigsaws, toys and films.

It’s like stepping into the seductive glories of the city’s Golden Age. This is the new Amsterdam: lavish, quirky and lovely. (source: Tatler Travel Guide 2102)
