Amsterdam

Amsterdam has always been a city shaped by ideas. Behind its iconic canals and elegant 17th-century merchant houses lies a destination where history, creativity and contemporary design exist in perfect balance. Former warehouses have become galleries and boutique hotels, industrial docklands have evolved into vibrant creative districts, and bold modern architecture sits comfortably alongside centuries-old façades. Whether wandering through the Jordaan, De Pijp or Amsterdam Noord, the city rewards curiosity at every turn.

Food and drink are an essential part of Amsterdam’s character. Neighbourhood cafés, lively brown bars, specialty coffee roasters and natural wine bars sit alongside Michelin-starred restaurants and innovative kitchens inspired by flavours from around the world. From relaxed canal-side terraces to vibrant food halls and intimate chef’s tables, the city’s culinary scene is as diverse and international as Amsterdam itself.

Amsterdam is home to one of Europe’s most exciting collections of boutique and design hotels. Historic canal houses, former shipping offices, industrial landmarks and contemporary architectural icons have all been transformed into distinctive places to stay, where Dutch design, craftsmanship and a strong sense of place take centre stage. At DNA Hotels, we curate the hotels that reveal the city’s true character—where architecture, interiors, gastronomy and creativity come together to make Amsterdam far more than a postcard destination.
