A complete renovation has made this luxurious accommodation even more desirable. If you prefer your flat screen TV to pop up out of the foot of your bed then you'll have no trouble here as this feature comes standard in its rooms. The concierge, dressed in a top hat and tails, will be more than happy to reveal all of Amsterdam's insider secrets, but if you're feeling a little peckish you can always try the hotel's own Michelin-starred restaurant, Bord'Eau. A spa is also available and its tiny pool offers views of the Binnenamstel canal. If the level of service at all hotels was as good as it is here, we'd have a lot less to be grumpy about on our frequent research visits.
