Amsterdam American

Frommer's Review

One of the most fanciful buildings on Amsterdam's long list of monuments, this castle-like mix of Venetian Gothic and Art Nouveau has been a prominent landmark and a popular meeting place for Amsterdammers since 1900. While the exterior must always remain an architectural treasure curiosity of turrets, arches, and balconies, the interior (except that of the cafe, which is also protected) is modern and chic. Rooms are subdued and refined, superbly furnished, and gifted with great vistas: Some have a view of the Singelgracht, while others overlook kaleidoscopic Leidseplein. The location, in the thick of the action and near many major attractions, is one of the best in town. Famous Café Americain is one of Europe's most elegant eateries. There is also the Bar Americain, which has a closed-in terrace looking out on Leidseplein.
