We love Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam for its location and the fact that it has managed to seamlessly incorporate six 17th Century Canal Palaces into the one hotel. Make use of the hotel’s private jetty to discover the fascinating canals that are the arteries of the city, and don’t miss trying one of their very famous burgers – they’ve been declared the best in the city (not just by us!).
