From this vantage point, you get the best possible view of all those gabled Golden Age merchants' houses.\r\n\r\n<strong>Visit the Anne Frankhuis<\/strong>: The clear and haunting words of a young Jewish girl trying to survive and grow in unimaginable circumstances have moved millions since they were first published in the aftermath of World War II. It's a melancholy but unforgettable experience to spend a reflective moment in Anne Frank's stark hideout from Nazi terror.\r\n\r\n<strong>Buy flowers at the Flower Market<\/strong>: The vast array of flowers and potted plants in their \"floating\" home on the Singel canal comprises the city's largest and most colorful plant assortment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Try a <em>Rijsttafel:<\/em><\/strong> Dutch settlers in the East Indies created the banquet-style \"rice table.\" Comprising from 10 to 30 little dishes, some as fiery as rocket exhaust, a <em>rijsttafel<\/em> is a great introduction to Indonesian cuisine.\r\n\r\n<strong>Meet Van Gogh: Van Gogh Museum<\/strong>: The world's largest collection of Vincent's works is housed here -- some 200 paintings and 500 drawings -- ranging from <em>Sunflowers<\/em> to earless self-portraits. Here, you can trace this great, tragic painter's artistic and psychological development.\r\n\r\n<strong>Essential Europe\u2019s recommended hotels<\/strong>\r\n\r\nStay at the\r\n\r\n<strong>Hotel Pulitzer<\/strong><strong>*****<\/strong>\r\n\r\nOverlooking two of the city's most picturesque canals, Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht, Hotel Pulitzer is ideally located in the middle of the old city center of Amsterdam. The unique hotel is comprised of 25 restored 17th and 18th century canal houses. Named to Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler's 2004 Gold List, it is unlike any other hotel. Each of our 230 distinctive guest rooms represents a small piece of Dutch history and culture. Located in the beautiful gardens, the art gallery offers multiple expositions each year.\r\n\r\nThough rich in historical splendor, the hotel also offers today\u2019s modern amenities, including the latest technology with wired and wireless (Wi-Fi) High Speed Internet Access in all public areas, meeting facilities and all guest rooms.\r\n\r\nSavor an exquisite culinary experience in the beautiful, trendy Pultizers Restaurant. Or relax with an aperitif in Pultizers Bar. Enjoy complimentary access to Pulitzers Gym, equipped with the latest state-of-the-art fitness equipment with individual flat screen TVs.\r\n<strong>Hotel Ambassade****<\/strong>\r\n\r\nPerhaps 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\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n<strong>The Dylan*****<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe Dylan is located in the heart of the 17th-century city centre, near trendy shopping area Negen Straatjes (Little Nine Streets). Previous owner Anouska Hempel's trademark Asian aesthetic is still in evidence. Kylie Minogue, Lenny Kravitz, Will Smith and Nick Cave have all stayed. There are 41 big bedrooms in various colours with huge beds that could easily sleep three or four. Bathrooms are sumptuous with vibrant wallpapers and marble tiles. The Dylan restaurant serves a mixture of international dishes and a French-North African menu.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n<strong>The Amstel Intercontinental****<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThis is the most expensive, luxurious hotel in the Netherlands. Quiet, scenic and located on the Amstel. Services cover everything from limousine to motor yacht.\r\n\r\nThe hotel sports a mansard roof and wrought-iron window guards, a graceful Grand Hall, and rooms that boast all the elegance of a country manor, complete with antiques and genuine Delft blue porcelain. The Italian marble bathrooms have separate toilets and showers, and staffers note each guest's personal preferences for their next visit. The French La Rive restaurant is one of the hallowed temples of Amsterdam cuisine. The Amstel Lounge, Amstel Bar & Brasserie, and terraces overlooking the river are more informal.","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-577","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/essentialeuropetravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/essentialeuropetravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/essentialeuropetravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essentialeuropetravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essentialeuropetravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=577"}],"version-history":[{"count":52,"href":"https:\/\/essentialeuropetravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/577\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8096,"href":"https:\/\/essentialeuropetravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/577\/revisions\/8096"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essentialeuropetravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/86"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/essentialeuropetravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
