Ambassade

Frommer's Review

Perhaps more than any other hotel in Amsterdam, this one, in ten 17th- and 18th-century houses on the Herengracht and Singel canals, re-creates what it must have felt like to live in an elegant canal house. The pastel-toned rooms are individually styled, and their size and shape vary according to the individual houses' characters. Each year, one of the houses is completely renovated. Everyone who stays here can enjoy the view each morning with breakfast in the bi-level chandeliered breakfast room, or each evening in the adjoining parlor, amidst Persian rugs and a stately grandfather clock. To get to some guest rooms, you cope with a steep and skinny staircase, though other rooms are accessible by elevator. For the nimble-footed who can handle the stairs, the reward is a spacious room with large windows overlooking the canal. There's an Empire-style library and a free-to-use Internet room.
