Book the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam with VIP Benefits

One of the very best of these is the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam. Only a few hotels worldwide can pride themselves and claim to be part of a UNESCO World Heritage-listed setting. The hotel sits on Amsterdam's historic and famous canals with ample and beautiful gardens located behind this Amsterdam hotel. The hotel, part of the world-famous Waldorf Astoria chain, is part of the Hilton group and offers comfort and sophistication. This is all wrapped up in 17th and 18th-century style but with modern features enhancing its charm.

Location

Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam is a luxurious hotel with a Michelin-star restaurant and stylish double-front canal palaces that are ideally located for much of what Amsterdam offers. Moreover, you can walk around the city or take advantage of the city's famous bikes and routes. Additionally, there is the Royal Palace, Negen Straatjes shopping center, and Museum Van Loon nearby. You can also visit the FOAM photography museum, the Rijksmuseum, and much more within a short distance.

Many of the original period pieces remain in the hotel. These include the stunning marble and stucco staircase from Louis XIV and Daniel Marot's design. There are also many 17th-century ceiling paintings and the exquisitely preserved Maurer Room. These no doubt give guests the feeling of residing in a museum itself. Furthermore, modern design touches are scattered throughout the hotel that blends well with its older parts.

Facilities

The personal concierge service treads the fine line between warmth and formality. Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam has parking facilities, useful for those traveling to and from it by car. The resort also has standard room service and laundry facilities that one would expect from a quality, luxurious hotel. There is also a private garden at the rear of the building.

Moreover, as one may expect from a historic building that maintains much of its original features, there are adaptations for users with disabilities. One room has been specially adapted for this purpose. There is also a special entrance for wheelchair users who cannot access the building via the main (steep) staircase.

However, although children are welcome here, the hotel does not position itself as family-friendly. Therefore, there are no special activities provided.

Rooms and Suites

The Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam offers 93 spacious rooms and suites throughout the site. Rooms and suites either overlook the garden or provide a canal view. Moreover, the Backer Suite, Van Loon Suites, Roell Suite, and the Brentano Suite are lovely bedroom suites. Besides, each has its theme and style.

As one would expect from the rooms and suites within luxury resorts, these are generously and stylishly equipped. All rooms feature extensive bathrooms with a range of toiletries. You can also enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi and 42-inch flat-screen TVs. That is, of course, if you can tear yourself away from the beautiful views outside each room.

Additionally, each room has a safe that is large enough for a laptop. There are also espresso machines and easy-to-use room controls that require little instruction.

Furthermore, the rooms are in muted and pastel colors, with many splashes of both contemporary and classic design throughout. Also, all rooms and suites have ample space within.

Restaurant and Bar

The food and drink options at the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam are led by one of the country's great chefs, Sidney Schutte, the flagship Librije's Zusje restaurant, recently rebranded as Spectrum. A range of exceptional dishes is available at this Michelin star restaurant. These include a seven-course tasting menu. This will delight the palate and inspire guests to their culinary explorations.

Many other options are also available for guests looking for a low-key dining affair. Additionally, expansive brasserie fare is available at the Goldfinch Brasserie. There is also afternoon tea available from the Peacock Alley. Furthermore, from the Vault Bar, you can have one of the signature cocktails available at Waldorf Astoria hotels worldwide.

The food and drink are of the standard that one would expect from a hotel backed by a hotel chain with a worldwide reputation. And, of course, the classic and famous Waldorf salad is one of the most popular dishes for those who have heard the name but never tried it.

Spa and Fitness

The focus may be on the generously sized rooms and the wide range of options for dining and drinking. However, the hotel still has space to include a good-sized Guerlain spa. There is also an indoor pool, as well as a whirlpool. These are perfect for guests looking to unwind, relax, and de-stress.

Moreover, the large gym enjoys a good view over the garden. It also has a range of strength and cardiovascular equipment. Besides, a personal trainer is available for guests who need the extra help of a customized, personalized exercise routine.

Three treatment rooms are also available, and as with the gym, the treatment rooms offer access to the garden. A wide range of different therapies is available, including facials and massages.

Other Information

The hotel also includes seven function rooms that you can use for different meetings and events. These function rooms are generally more suitable for smaller than more prominent events. For example, the largest of the rooms, the Hooft, can take only 24 guests, whereas the smallest, the Maurer, holds four guests.

Takeaway

The Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam provides a compelling blend of the 17th and 18th-century classic styles. It also has the modern touches required of any hotel welcoming guests worldwide. Additionally, well-equipped and well-proportioned rooms and a range of dining options provide guests with excellent facilities and a comfortable stay.

Furthermore, the skilled and experienced concierge staff and the convenient city Centre location make the hotel a perfect vacation hub. Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam is a place from which to base a stay in Amsterdam's historic and beautiful city.
