Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam

At Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam, Dam Square begins outside the entrance, with the Royal Palace opposite.

A week here, month by month

Breakfast beneath the Wintergarden’s glass would bring me to the Krasnapolsky even for one night. I’d plan the weekend around that morning; for the intimacy of a small canal house, I’d choose another address.

Is it for you?

For two, I’d choose an Executive Rooftop Terrace Room to open the door and spend time outside. It looks over the city and makes sense if you want some time at the hotel too.

An Executive Rooftop Terrace Room with its private terrace.
Worth knowing
The airport transfer on departure is an Executive privilege: check that your rate includes it, as some promotional offers exclude it.

8 min readHow we write the guide

  1. A suite to share

    The Presidential Rooftop Terrace Suite has 2 ensuite bedrooms and a terrace with 180° city views. Consider it for a celebration you want to share.

  2. What the suite rate includes

    Suite privileges do not automatically combine with promotional offers, packages or negotiated rates. Before comparing 2 prices, check which services remain included.

  3. An earlier arrival

    Flexible check-in and check-out for selected suites need at least 72 hours’ notice. With less notice, standard times apply.

What the Krasnapolsky is

The building dates from 1855, but the room makes a considerable difference today: a Deluxe, a square-facing room and a terrace suite are different stays under the same name.1

From January 2026, Executive categories and suites come with dedicated privileges. Choosing one means deciding which services you’ll use during the trip, as well as the bed and outlook.2

The spa offers massages, a sauna, steam room and infrared experience.4

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them

  3. Staff and service

    The attention given to birthdays and personal occasions stays with guests.

  5. Price

365 guests said so on Google, from 3 May 2026 to 3 November 2026. Google reviews of the hotel, including visits to its bars and restaurants. Peer hotels may cover different periods. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Amsterdam: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 3 November 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

Le facciate del Pulitzer lungo il canale

Pulitzer Amsterdam

I’d book a canal-facing room at the Pulitzer and leave the afternoon open: take the hotel’s boat out or settle at the bar. If a daily swim matters, The Grand has an indoor pool.

L’ingresso del Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam

Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam

At The Grand in central Amsterdam, you can come back for a swim after a day on foot, then dine at Bridges without putting your coat back on. That would bring me here; for a small canal-house hotel, look elsewhere.

Le facciate dell’NH Collection Amsterdam Barbizon Palace

NH Collection Amsterdam Barbizon Palace

Arriving by train, the Barbizon Palace makes for an easy start: put down your bags and you’re already in the centre. I’d choose it for days exploring Amsterdam on foot and a glass at Vermeers Wijnkamer on my return.

The outdoor pool among the trees

Pestana Palace Lisboa

At Pestana Palace, leave a few hours unplanned. I would come for the garden and for a palace to return to after Lisbon’s hills; if every evening belongs in the centre, allow for the journey.

La piscina esterna del The One Palácio da Anunciada

The One Palácio da Anunciada

At The One, head towards Restauradores, then return beneath the palace’s restored ceilings. I’d choose it for a few days away together, leaving an afternoon for the garden and its century-old dragon tree.

Lausanne climbs behind the palace; from the right rooms, the lake appears beyond the rooftops.

The Secret Garden at dusk: stone stairways and balustrades, lit by small lamps, climb the slope in terraces among trees and clipped shrubs; a young tree in the foreground and a rustic stone arch above a terrace at the top
