A lavish masterpiece on the Amstel River
One of the oldest family-run hotels in Amsterdam, De L’Europe is part of the Leading Hotels of the World group. But it’s not just the heritage and swishness that makes this a tempting option if you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Amsterdam – it’s also in a top location overlooking the Amstel River, and handily close to the Nine Streets shopping area.
If you’re a fine dining foodie, you’ll love that there’s a two Michelin-starred restaurant here, Flore. On other evenings, you can pop into the hotel’s French brasserie or hop over to Italy (metaphorically) to dine at Trattoria Graziella.
You’ll get a true immersion into local craftsmanship here, with Dutch creators invited to display and sell their art and designs in the hotel. For relaxation, a sumptuous subterranean spa stands by, complemented by saunas, a Jacuzzi, and a heated indoor pool. If this all sounds a little family-unfriendly, think again: children are warmly welcomed, and there are menus that hit the spot with the hotel’s youngest guests.
The rooms are particularly lavish. Even the smallest rooms have satin bed linen, Nespresso machines, heated bathroom floors, and plush bathrobes, although you’ll need to upgrade if you want a balcony or a river view. But with the city on the doorstep, you can be strolling along the Amstel within moments anyway.

What De L Europe Amsterdam The Leading Hotels of the World has to offer
Nine Streets
A popular shopping destination in Amsterdam where independent boutiques and cosy cafes sit alongside each other. These walkable streets give you a great view of Amsterdam’s 17th-century architecture and views of the famous canals.
Van Gogh Museum
First-time visitors to Amsterdam should make tracks to Vondelpark, which has beautiful gardens, cafes, and an open-air theatre. It’s also where you’ll find the Van Gogh Museum, considered unmissable by many. You can walk there in around 20 minutes from the hotel (passing another world-class art museum, Rijksmuseum, on the way) and see Van Gogh’s masterpieces for yourself.
Public transport
Reaching other neighbourhoods across Amsterdam is easy on the city’s public transport network. The nearest metro station is Rokin on the North-South line, a four-minute walk north along the river. Or hop on a blue-and-white, bell-ringing tram from Muntplein station, just a three-minute walk away across the bridge outside the hotel.
