Hotel Vondel

Amsterdam


Named after the famed Dutch poet Joost van den Vondel (as is the nearby park), this stylish hotel's smart rooms have lots of designer flourishes, from Burberry-check blankets on the beds to modernist chandeliers and lots of blonde wood. Rooms come in many different shapes and sizes and thus different price points.

There's bike rental, in-room flower service and the dramatic art-lined restaurant, Joost; breakfast costs €18.50.
