Frommer's Review

You can't get much closer to Old Amsterdam than at this stylish hotel in the higgledy-piggledy heart of the city. When you walk into the dazzling atrium, you face a vicarage dating from 1650. Because of Amsterdam's strict preservation laws, Radisson couldn't knock the building down, so they built around it and incorporated it into the new structure. Two 18th-century merchants' houses and a former paper factory complete the renovated ensemble. The hotel offers four types of themed rooms: Typical Dutch, with oak furnishings and orange curtains, Scandinavian, Asian, and Art Deco. All offer a standard of comfort and style that has made this hotel a firm Amsterdam favorite. Each room has a writing desk, and king-, queen-, or twin-size beds. Dine in the Dutch restaurant De Palmboom. The oak-beamed De Pastoriebar in the old vicarage handles drinks and snacks. Note: This hotel has been awarded a Green Key certificate for its environmental awareness and sustainable practices.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
