Hilton Amsterdam

Amsterdam


Famous as the place that John and Yoko staged their 'bed-in for peace' in 1969, this Hilton classic is close to Vondelpark in the lush Old South district, with canal-side lawns and all the five-star accoutrements. You can even stay in a piece of history in the 'John & Yoko' suite, with fabulous views through its huge windows, plus a balcony.
