Oh, those canals and windmills! Now, visitors to Holland’s capital city can check into a brand new, über luxurious address: Hotel TwentySeven, situated on Dam Square across from the Royal Palace. Billing itself as the first 6-star property in the Netherlands, the hotel’s spaces were curated by award-winning Dutch designers Wim van de Oudeweetering and Cris van Amsterdam, who created an exceptional setting for discerning guests including original works of art, fine fabrics and personal services.

Need a butler, personal trainer, private shopper or professional nanny? No problem: The hotel staff is ready to make your arrangements. A perfect base for exploring the city, the hotel space was assimilated into a historic building dating to 1913, a long-time home to the prestigious Royal Industrial Club (The Koninklijke Industrieele Groote Club), a popular gathering place for titans of industry and business. After you’ve seen the sites, return to one of 16 spacious suites. The largest available suite has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a huge private terrace.

The hotel is the vision of hotelier Eric Toren (twice winner of the Hotelier of the Year Award), who not only assembled an outstanding staff, but also the skills of 2-star Michelin Master chef Pascal Jalhay and renowned sommelier Lendl Mijnhijmer, who preside over Restaurant Bougainville. Jalhay is the youngest Dutch chef honored with double Michelin stars, while Mijnhijmer is the recipient of the 2016 McNie Tasting Trophy 2016 for best wine taster of the world. He was also named most talented sommelier 2017 by GaultMillau.
