“The classic Art Deco design immediately sets a tone of urban sophistication. I'm particularly drawn to the central location on Leidseplein Square, near the Van Gogh Museum and other key attractions, plus the bonus of lively bar staff mixing cocktails downstairs. A canal-view room sounds like the perfect way to complete the stay.”
