Never bland. Never boring. Never a dull moment at Amsterdam’s best boutique hotels.<\/h4>\n

If there\u2019s a common thread running through the best boutique hotels of Amsterdam, it\u2019s that they\u2019re not afraid to have a little fun. Even behind the stately facades of the city\u2019s historic canal house hotels, there\u2019s a playfulness \u2014 a pronouncement that they\u2019ve no interest in maintaining a stiff upper lip. These buildings have stood for centuries, and a bit of quirk here and there is a subtle reminder to guests that life is short, and you shouldn’t take yourself too seriously. The spirits of the house whispering, “Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Amsterdam\u2019s institutional landmarks are another popular pick for hotel home bases. There, too, old structures have been repurposed into new lodging, and there, too, the trademark vim and vitality continues \u2014 albeit on a much grander and more industrial scale. The ghosts of the past have more room to roam in these spaces, but their opinion is much the same: “You’re alive, you\u2019re probably on vacation, enjoy yourself!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Topped off with slew of newer, more youth-oriented accommodations that are vivacious by nature, Amsterdam’s hotel scene is united in its desire to ensure that you have a good time, and that you don’t waste a minute of it. Here’s a sampler. Seize the day.<\/p>\n

Hotel Mercier<\/a><\/h2>\n
Amsterdam, Netherlands<\/h5>\n

\"Hotel<\/a><\/p>\n

When Tablet first came online the boutique hotels in Amsterdam were avant-garde affairs, parlaying the success of modern Dutch design into a hotel scene straight out of the future. Hotel Mercier, however, belongs to a later generation, one that integrates Amsterdam\u2019s historical charms with eclectic contemporary decoration and the kind of personality-driven boutique hospitality.<\/p>\n

Seven One Seven<\/a><\/h2>\n
Amsterdam, Netherlands<\/h5>\n

\"Seven<\/a><\/p>\n

Seven One Seven is as haute-luxury as they come, just nine sumptuous suites in a landmark 19th-century house along the Prinzengracht, outfitted by the former owner, fashion designer Kees van der Valk. The hotel\u2019s own promotional materials sell Seven One Seven as an \u201cexclusive private guesthouse,\u201d which is pretty much right on the mark. In physical terms they\u2019re equally well suited for business or pleasure, but when it comes to atmosphere they seem purpose-built for romance.<\/p>\n

Amsterdam, Netherlands<\/h5>\n

\"Hotel<\/a><\/p>\n

For a while in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Houthandel van de Vijsel was an unusual Amsterdam landmark, a timber and hardware shop around which had grown an upscale residential neighborhood. For a while it sat vacant, but now, thanks to hotelier Arjen van den Hof and architect Minke Wagenaar, the spirit of the place \u2014 and many of its original beams, in fact \u2014 lives on as the Hotel van de Vijsel.<\/p>\n

Mayer Manor<\/a><\/h2>\n
Amsterdam, Netherlands<\/h5>\n

\"Mayer<\/a><\/p>\n

Mayer Manor is that rarest of beasts, the one-room hotel. It\u2019s an insanely eclectic space \u2014 its rebirth and restoration was inspired by its 19th-century history as well as its pre-history as a 15th-century convent. Today it\u2019s an events space, essentially, and thus designed for maximum atmosphere, maximum romance \u2014 and the same goes for its single apartment, spanning the top two floors of the building.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The first of the Private Mansions hotels was the dark and moody Mayer Manor \u2014 so for a sequel they went in a brighter, sunnier, more heavenly direction. The Secret Chapel is for guests who find the original Manor to be altogether too conventional a lodging. This one is more or less exactly what it sounds like: a chapel used in secret by Catholics during the 18th century, now upgraded with a kitchen, a claw-foot tub, and a bed where the altar used to be.<\/p>\n

\"Sir<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019d bet money that the team behind the SIR brand of hotels were big into imaginary friends as children. How else do you explain their propensity to design boutique hotels with fully formed human personalities? In this case, Sir Adam happens to be a music impresario. After a few too many years of the nomadic rock-star lifestyle, he\u2019s looking to settle down \u2014 and he wants to invite some of his hippest friends to stay with him at his new place in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n

Housed in a renovated office building found in the heart of Amsterdam\u2019s city center and theater district, Hotel V Nesplein is a funky boutique hotel within walking distance of most of the major attractions. The hotel\u2019s restaurant and bar is a popular local hangout in itself, and often features live music on its small stage. Decorated with velvet stage curtains, stage lights, and vintage black and white show posters, the space pays tribute to the neighborhood\u2019s theatrical background.<\/p>\n

This notoriously compact city is perfectly suited for the Hoxton concept: long on style, if short on space, and easier on the budget than a hotel this stylish has any real right to be. The Hoxton, Amsterdam is set in a row of five classic canal houses, and, in the interest of preservation, follows their warren-like floor plans. But it brings to the Netherlands an aesthetic all its own, one that owes an obvious debt to industrial East London.<\/p>\n

The first Dutch boutique hotels we saw were marvels of the modern minimalism that was in the ascendant in the turn-of-the-millennium Netherlands. Since then, however, we\u2019ve seen a flowering of eclectic styles \u2014 but none quite so ornate as that on display in Hotel TwentySeven. This 1916 building is home to a private club, and, on its upper floors, to a luxury boutique hotel that\u2019s as intensely atmospheric as anything we\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

\"Conservatorium<\/a><\/p>\n

From Amsterdam\u2019s old music school to a conservatory of a different kind; the Conservatorium is a radical repurposing of the city\u2019s Sweelinck Conservatorium building, transforming its soaring institutional spaces and ornate century-old construction into a contemporary design hotel, one with plenty of personality and plenty of space to express it in. And the fact that it\u2019s one of very few luxury hotels in the city center certainly doesn\u2019t hurt its case.<\/p>\n

Visitors in search of Amsterdam’s historical canal-house charm have never had trouble satisfying their needs, and devotees of modern Dutch design likewise find themselves well served \u2014 just not usually at the same hotel. The Canal House squares this particular circle, and while the results might not satisfy purists at either extreme, there are a great many of us who are likely to find its blend of timeless elegance and modern luxury to be just the perfect mixture.<\/p>\n

The Toren’s location in the central canal district could hardly be more picturesque, and the same goes for the building itself, which recently celebrated its 400th birthday. Not content simply to rely on the charm of its setting, the Toren\u2019s proprietors brought in designer Wim van de Oudeweetering, who outfitted the hotel in lush fabrics, rich colors, bold patterns, and theatrical details \u2014 you\u2019d almost call it baroque, were it not so contemporary in its vision.<\/p>\n

At Zoku, a kitchen table, not a bed, is the central feature of the hotel’s loft rooms. It\u2019s a welcome admission of a basic fact that most travelers already know \u2014 that a hotel room, particularly in an urban location, should be more than a place to sleep. Though the lofts make excellent venues for working, the hotel contains a range of light-filled, open-plan \u201csocial spaces\u201d that encourage communal work and play.<\/p>\n
