[ Save To My Favourites ](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/15279) ## **The location…** You’ll find the [Kimpton De Witt](http://www.kimptondewitthotel.com/us/en/index.html) a mere stone’s throw away from Amsterdam Central Station – right in the midst of the action, yet a reassuringly safe distance from the red light district. ## **The vibe…** Think Dutch classic with a modern twist. From the seriously cool emerald green cocktail bar, to minimalist Dutch-style rooms and Pinterest worthy greenery, this hotel is an interiors lover’s dream. Even if you’re not staying here, it’s worth paying a visit – offering a welcome respite from the busy heart of Amsterdam, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a quiet and intimate drink before exploring the city. They also have a Wine Club, held every day from 5-6pm. ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/7kRONwffZ6Kqm28K_h421d9KGH0=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2018%2F02%2Fmiss-louisa01.jpg) ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/5WhEOkKYwkdueiJY7Cfx4U4pimg=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2018%2F02%2Fkimpton-de-witt-living-room-garden2.jpg) ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/L8HwH_bUW0qQ_tECc99cH6WbkCk=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2018%2F02%2Fkimptondewitt-9574.jpg) ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/KY2zMvaDNaBM_OJQDXTDh1sB0EQ=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2018%2F02%2Fkimptondewitt-0871.jpg) ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/gm-zU8BUJyBvttsN8LTZXm8lqkc=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2018%2F02%2Fkimptondewitt-0653.jpg) ## **The food…** Wyers at the Kimpton offers relaxed dining where American comfort food comes with a Dutch twist, courtesy of New York Chef Sammy D. Try the buffalo lollipops and, of course, the local delicacy -bitterballen – crispy bite-size beef croquettes For our main course, we loved the seared salmon and delicious roasted cauliflower. ## **The little extras…** If you really want to splash out, the penthouse is worth every extra penny – it’s palatial enough to move into. Epitomising Dutch style, the penthouse boasts a luxuriously comfortable bed, spacious couple’s bathroom with free-standing tub, built-in fireplace to remedy those colder Netherlands nights and an impressive rooftop terrace sporting fantastic views of the city. We’d highly recommend you borrow the hotel’s classy and complimentary Van Moof bicycles to tour the streets of Amsterdam. What better way to see the sights? ## **How to get there…** If a one-hour flight from the UK wasn’t short enough, Eurostar now runs directly from London to Amsterdam, so you can forego long check-ins and passport control queues.
