“Reinventing the past in the future.”
With its design, location, and atmosphere, Hotel The Craftsmen is a real eye-catcher.
With unique and handmade items, Creative Director Stef van der Bijl blew new life into forgotten antiques and industrial objects. By honoring the craftsmen of Dutch history, Hotel The Craftsmen offers a distinctive design, strong historical culture, and the luxury it deserves.
The canal houses on the Singel have a rich past: the oldest building was built in 1652 by Roelof Swaen, an aide to Michiel de Ruyter, who used the former Huis de Swaen as a ferry house. Huis de Swaen was bought in 1917 by Mr Brouwer, opening Hotel Brouwer. The building remained exactly that way for 100 years. A new era has come and with a strong vision, the Zandbergen family opened Hotel The Craftsmen, a Boutique hotel where Dutch historical crafts are truly honored.
Signature Rooms are true eye-catchers. They are spacious, boasting impressive views over the canals, and will allow you to experience the lively city to the fullest.
Visit their new addition, The Craftsmen Kitchen. This takeaway store has the best sandwiches, coffees, and juices in town and is located directly next to Hotel The Craftsmen.

Linda B.: “Estherea is great!”
Michael B.:” Hotel Estherea. A wonderful boutique hotel conveniently located.”

Dream away with the richly colored and kind of art deco and quirky interior, the crystal chandeliers, the luxurious fabrics, and the expressive prints.
None of the 91 rooms and two suites in our hotel are the same, each and every one of them has been lovingly designed and decorated. Hotel Estheréa will allow you to relax and it’s also the perfect starting point for discovering and exploring the city prior to or after your cruise, as it’s located right in the very heart of Amsterdam.
In short, the perfect stay for either a short or a long getaway in Amsterdam.
This boutique hotel has been run by a family for more than 75 years. Quite a few things have changed over the years. The premises started out as a guest house with 12 rooms and has now been developed into a luxury gem with 91 rooms and two suites. You will absolutely like Maria’s bar.
The building is now included on UNESCO’s world heritage list and has undergone a significant transformation. However, the one thing which has definitely remained over the course of time is a true family feeling, personal attention, service, authenticity, and an eye for detail.
And you don’t just see that when you enter this hotel, you will feel it too.
Highly recommended!

Ron W.: “We stayed there several days before a river cruise and it was wonderful.”
When you are up for something else, a little different from the average Amsterdam hotel this three-star hotel might be an option.
For starters, they are slightly off the beaten track. Located at Bloemgracht, an enchanting 17th-century canal just off of the Prinsengracht. In the heart of the Jordaan, the sassy, smart village in midtown with its exciting art studios, quirky little shops, and authentic Amsterdam bars & cafés – where Sundays get as comfy and as quiet as a tiny French town. That’s the quirky atmosphere of this special hotel.
What’s more: the style goes way back to the sixties, when one day, the founder of this hotel decided to advertise his couch at the local tourist agency. People loved it. So the couch turned into a room, which turned into two, which expanded into a full floor, then into more floors until even the house next door gave in to the hospitable spirit of Mr. Jordaan. You could say he was a pioneer. Started couch surfing before its time. Airbnb-by-phone-and-snail-mail. Stay-with-a-local, well before we even knew ‘local’ was something to aspire. That is the feel of this hotel.
But what makes this hotel different most, is the guest. Because the truth of the matter is: Mr. Jordaan is for travelers. For decades, it’s been a home away from home for explorers. For the curious, the original. For people who look a little further and leave plenty of room for surprises & little treasures, unnoticed by travel books, tourist guides, and backpack blogs.
Check-in and before you know it, you will consider yourself a true canal dweller, inhabiting Amsterdam’s finest neighborhood & adopting the funky Jordaan lifestyle. You will fit right in.
For the daring and funky cruiser, this can be a new and very special experience! Located in the exact place to be, the spot of Amsterdam.

Gladys M.: “Pulitzer Hotel. Great location on a canal street. Beautiful.”
Trish Nelson K.:” The Pulitzer is central and a very nice hotel.”
Martha Hardwick H.: “Pulitzer. Highly recommended.”
Cintra R.:” The Pulitzer is one of the best.”
A stay at Pulitzer Amsterdam is a historical discovery with a long and illustrious heritage dating back to the Golden Age. The hotel is set within twenty-five restored 17th and 18th-century houses that once set the scene for prosperous business deals between trade merchants and played home to the decadent and flamboyant lives of Dutch aristocrats.
In the 17th century, the Netherlands blossomed, it was the place to be. This prosperous era in Dutch history saw: wealthy merchants building the beautiful buildings we still admire, the Dutch East India Company became the world’s first multinational, Rembrandt was changing the face of the art world with nothing more than his paintbrush, and Manhattan was founded – back then it was known as New Amsterdam.
The movers and shakers of Amsterdam’s influential upper class lived in the canal houses closest to the old town, while the warehouses were located along with the outer canal rings. This is why the Pulitzer buildings along the Keizersgracht are more opulent than the ones on the Prinsengracht.
You will enjoy the residential feel of their different room types. Each room and suite is unique and part of the exceptional heritage of Pulitzer’s canal houses.
This hotel has a deep passion for elegant culinary craftsmanship. Pause in the bright garden café to recharge throughout the entire day. Restaurant Jansz. serves simple yet beautifully crafted dishes inspired by classic European cuisine and Pulitzer’s Bar is the perfect place to enjoy an immaculately mixed drink in style. Recharge with sights on the soothing gardens or unwind on the outside terrace, surrounded by the striking canal houses.
A gem, hiding in plain sight, and a leafy oasis of tranquility for anyone who needs to pause. The friendly breakfast, morning coffee, light dishes, a great glass of wine, all taken in or out; Pause is the kind of place you want to keep to yourself… but can’t. A cruise is ahead…right?

De L’Europe Amsterdam has been a leading luxury hotel ever since 1896. With the redesign, they aimed to reinforce their position as an exclusive hotel in the very heart of Amsterdam and its role as guardian of local culture and craftsmanship. The goal of the redesign was to create a timeless classic interior design that feels familiar at the same time.

Angela K.: “Locally owned in Amsterdam and not too far away from where Viking docks is the Port van Cleve. The restaurant serves typical Dutch food (as well as international food).”
This hotel is ideally located in the city center of Amsterdam, right behind the Nieuwe Kerk on Dam square and next to Magna Plaza. You will find the many extraordinary sites that Amsterdam has to offer within only walking distance from the hotel.
In 1996 Hotel Die Port van Cleve was bought by its current owners. It has since then undergone several structural changes, like adding air-conditioning and redecoration of the hotel rooms in 2012. The monumental building of Hotel Die Port van Cleve still has several authentic features. The unique frontage of this historic hotel in Amsterdam has remained unchanged and has obtained a monumental status. As has the unique interior of the Bar-Bodega De Blauwe Parade, with a large Delft Blue tile fresco dating back to 1887.
Hotel Die Port van Cleve consists of three special monumental buildings that are connected to each other and therefore all 122 hotel rooms vary in size and layout. The hotel rooms consist of four different room types: standard, superior, executive, and business rooms.
All rooms have been designed to provide you with modern comfort in a classing setting with a Dutch historical accent and reference to the Delft Blue tile fresco in our Bar-Bodega ‘De Blauwe Parade’. The rooms are similarly decorated but still, remain unique in their own way. Not super luxury but sufficient.
Their restaurant Hulscher’s is all about irresistible grill and seafood dishes, with exclusively fresh and homemade ingredients. Seafood or meat? Like Mrs. Hulscher predicted already more than a hundred years ago, at the start of this authentic Amsterdam success story: “The best of both worlds.”
This hotel is locally-owned and not too far away from where Viking docks. The restaurant serves typical Dutch food (as well as international food).

My recommendation is to have the High Wine, which you recognize with the concept of its longstanding relationship with Tea.
At The Dylan, they like to consider the decadent affair as Bacchus would see fit, with a selection of the finest wines from the cellar and savory bites selected by executive chef Dennis Kuipers. You will love it!

Andy C:” Love The Canal House – this hotel is just around the corner from Anne Frank.”

Located in the heart of the Jordaan, the cultural center of Amsterdam, Canal House is situated on the Keizersgracht (the King’s Canal) and is comprised of three seventeenth century merchants’ houses.
The hotel buildings, numbers 148 and 152 were the home to several merchants and their businesses in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, before being turned into a hotel in the 1950s, by an eccentric and flamboyant American hotelier who was an avid collector of Dutch art and knick-knacks which were proudly displayed on walls, shelves and every other flat surface in the buildings in a traditional Dutch fashion. Many of these have been retained and re-used, providing continuity to the buildings that have stood on this spot for four hundred years.
The vision for Canal House was all about exquisite materials, luxury, and celebrating Dutch design. Their weakness for Dutch designer Marcel Wanders’ contemporary gothic pieces, and so it felt right they brought him and renowned agency Concrete onto the project.
The history and story of this hotel are really special and worth exploring.
The hotels Great Room is a beautiful spot to enjoy a leisurely afternoon relaxing, with views over the private garden. The bar at Canal House is both chic and stylish and is the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail or the famous Canal House G&T before heading out into the city.
The stunning private garden is perfect to enjoy a quiet drink in after a day shopping in the boutiques and galleries. Also in the garden are the Summer House and Garden House – both of which are available for private hire.
The lush interiors are finished with exquisite materials in a luxurious palette of rich purples, coppers, and deepest blacks.
Canal House’s 6 types of bedrooms exude sophisticated luxury. All 23 bedrooms at Canal House feature hardwood floors, silk wallpapers, rich velvet fabrics, and opulent Bisazza mosaics, along with contemporary furnishings and Dutch artwork.
The generous and varied breakfast table to their famous G&Ts before supper with piping-hot lobster “bitterballen’ a real Dutch snack, the food & drink is locally sourced, simple, and delicious. Light bites and bar snacks are available throughout the day which can be taken as room service too.
A stay in this hotel you most definitely will never forget. And isn’t that what traveling is for? Making lifetime memories?
