Andaz Amsterdam
Amsterdam, Netherlands
A bit of the old, a bit of the new — quite a fitting mix for Amsterdam, and that's just what you'll find at the Andaz Amsterdam. Set on the Prinsengracht — or Prince's Canal — this 122-room hotel lies behind the facade of a former public library, which belies the modern furnishings you'll find inside. When you arrive, you can skip the front desk and head straight to the lounge where you can check in via iPad while sipping on a cocktail — and that's just the start of a stay that might include a meal at the on-site Bluespoon restaurant, a visit to the spa, a ride on one of the hotel's bikes, a cup from the in-room Magimix coffee machine, or a tune from your room's Geneva sound system. It's totally up to you. [via]
