This grown-up boutique hotel with exemplary service, housed in a row of three grand, red-and-white-striped 19th-century mansions, has rooms with views over its private tranquil English garden. Beds are clothed in soft, white linen, walls are gentle dove-grey, and chairs have a mid-century look and pale-blue crushed-velvet upholstery. A bedside device makes ordering room service a breeze. Breakfast costs €26.
The hotel's earlier incarnation, Hotel Filosoof, features in the novel The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, though it wasn't used as a filming location in the popular 2014 film adaptation (in the movie, the American Hotel on Leidseplein is used as its stand-in).
