Best hotels in Amsterdam
A shortlist of the best hotels in Amsterdam for travellers who want to sleep in the wider region around the city, from castle grounds and countryside bed and breakfasts to a lakeside hotel and a small guesthouse with its own restaurant.
Staying in Amsterdam
Amsterdam draws visitors for its canals, museums and cycling streets, yet the addresses on this shortlist sit outside the busy centre, in the green belt of estates, villages and waterways that stretches from Loosdrecht to Langbroek, Lage Vuursche and Driebergen-Rijsenburg. That makes this list a choice for travellers who prefer quiet nights, gardens and parking over a room above a canal, and who are happy to treat the city as a day trip rather than a doorstep.
It suits couples looking for a castle or a small bed and breakfast, families who need family rooms and space to run, and drivers who want free car parking at the door. Business travellers will find meeting and banquet facilities at several addresses, while short-break visitors can pair a countryside base with the museums and markets of Amsterdam. The range runs from a 4-star lakeside hotel with the most reviews to a simple 1-star bed and breakfast, so the right pick depends on how much comfort and how much company you want.
