Manor

Amsterdam


In a former hospital, the Manor is a grand 19th-century building that's been given a lively designer makeover. Rooms are comfortable with super soft beds and brightened up with contemporary artworks. It also has a bar and an Italian restaurant. Prices only occasionally spike to the upper range.

Don't drop acid before heading down its hallways, as the Amsterdam flag motifs could blow your mind. The designer's intention was to increase the feeling of calm when entering your room, and it certainly works.
