Best hotels in Amsterdam for 2025, from indulgent stays to affordable breaks

Amsterdam continues to charm visitors every year, ranking high up on the list for the ultimate city break. Despite the constant struggle with overtourism, this free-spirited city’s locals are actively encouraging visitors to eschew partying and embrace slow travel and sustainability.

Nicknamed the Venice of the North, Amsterdam has always been kaleidoscopic where there’s an eclectic mix of history, heritage, charm and eccentricity. There’s no shortage of hotels to pick from here either – be it along the labyrinth of its iconic canals to newer, swanky hotels in revamped industrial buildings by its docklands. For an extra fun experience, particularly for families, there are houseboats available for longer stays that won’t break the bank.
