I particularly appreciate the design touches inspired by Dutch architect Berlage, lending a historic yet luxurious feel, while the central location makes exploring Amsterdam's key attractions remarkably easy; the evening wine and cheese hour sounds like a delightful way to unwind after a day of sightseeing.”
