Our absolute number 1 out of five , Kimpton de Witt Hotel 5 star hotel is located in the city center of Amsterdam. The central station, Dam Square, multiple shopping areas and restaurants are within walking distance of this hotel. Take a step outside and you are in the bustling center of Amsterdam.
This hotel is the first European boutique hotel in this chain. Imaginatively inspired by Dutch design, the interior of the rooms is quiet and inviting. In the hotel there are also several corners to withdraw and to relax, such as the unique boutique garden. Stylish and fresh, especially due to its location in the center, a nice place to relax and spend the night.

The number 2 in our list, Hotel Okura, is a five star hotel located in the Amsterdam district “de Pijp”. Inspired by Japanese influences, this hotel has 23 floors with a beautiful view of Amsterdam city. The hotel is characterized by “Omotenashi” – the refined Japanese hospitality with a subtle desire for perfection. The rooms are attractive, spacious and warmly decorated. There are four restaurants in the hotel, including Ciel Bleu. Located on the 23rd floor of the hotel, this restaurant has been awarded 2 Michelin stars and offers international cuisine. A relaxing stay and good dinner in a very hospitable environment.

Our number 3 five star hotel, The Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam is located in the center of Amsterdam, on the Herengracht. Located in 6 monumental canal houses, elegant and bright rooms are housed with of course all luxury and modern amenities. The luxury spa offers every opportunity for relaxation with an indoor swimming pool, sauna, fitness center and the possibility of massages. Then enjoy a dinner in Spectrum, one of the best restaurants in Amsterdam. This 2 Michelin star restaurant is located in this hotel. The hotel itself is in a quiet location in the city, yet in the bustling center of Amsterdam with several sights within walking distance, such as the Rijksmuseum and Dam Square.

Our number 4 and my personal favourite five star hotel is Hotel Pulitzer Amsterdam. you will find this lovely hotel also in the center of Amsterdam city. The canal houses on the Keizersgracht and on the Prinsengracht are interconnected, so Pulitzer also has a beautiful large courtyard garden. The luxury and richness of the Golden Age can be felt here and is reflected in a mix of intimate, luxurious rooms interspersed with traditional and modern art. The rooms are very diverse and inspired by the special legacy of this Golden Age environment.
The “negen straatjes” (nine streets) are literally next door, the Anne Frank House is a 200-meter walk away, Dam Square and the Flower Market are nearby and it is also right next to the old working-class neighborhood of the Jordaan, where you can still taste the authentic Jordanian atmosphere. Perfect to have a nice taste of Amsterdam!
Stay at the Pulitzer for a hotel that feels like home, where the luxury of the Golden Age and all modern conveniences come together in a beautiful location in Amsterdam.

Our number 5 in the list of best five star hotels in Amsterdam is The Conservatorium Hotel. This hotel is located in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid. Near the famous Vondelpark and the Museumplein. The inside of the hotel is designed with the historical background in mind. The wooden floors and authentic details give the rooms an authentic and homely atmosphere. Of course there is a spa and various restaurants. The location in Oud-Zuid makes this hotel attractive for cultural visitors. The Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum, the Concertgebouw and the most luxurious shops in Amsterdam in the PC Hooftstraat are literally all around the corner.
