Maxime Boutique Hotel

If you’d like to stay in a trendy, yet surprisingly affordable boutique hotel on Amsterdam’s swankiest shopping street where the city’s wealthy park their Ferraris and Porsches, then look no further than Maxime. All of its rooms are decorated in black, white and beige tones and include flat screen TVs, free internet access, minimalist design and private bathrooms with marble vanities. Even if you're not planning on staying here, you can drop by its purple ground floor brasserie for coffee and cake or a proper meal with some of the Dutch capital’s glitterati.
