De L'Europe Amsterdam has been a grande dame of the city since 1896, standing at the confluence of the Amstel River and the Unesco-listed canals in the very heart of Amsterdam, near the flower market and the Rembrandtplein. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, the family-owned hotel is filled with an impressive art collection, including works by Dutch masters.

The dining is a highlight. Restaurant Flore is a Michelin-starred exponent of Conscious Fine Dining guided by Dutch micro-seasonality under chef Bas van Kranen; Brasserie Marie brings Parisian brasserie elegance over the Amstel; Trattoria Graziella serves Italian; and Chapter 1896 and Freddy's Bar handle cocktails and Amsterdam classics.

For a grand, canal-side Amsterdam stay, De L'Europe is a benchmark.
