A 40-room boutique in a 17th-century Keizersgracht building — intimate, design-led, and home to Vinkeles, a Michelin-starred restaurant in the former bakery. The most personal of Amsterdam's luxury canal house hotels.
Why We Chose It
The Dylan occupies a 17th-century building on the Keizersgracht that was originally a theater and later an almshouse. The 40 rooms are individually designed with a mix of period features and contemporary furnishings. Vinkeles — the Michelin-starred restaurant in the vaulted former bakery — is one of Amsterdam's best fine-dining experiences. The intimate scale and personal service make it the most characterful of Amsterdam's luxury options.
What Stands Out
- Original 17th-century theater archway entrance: the courtyard discovery that makes arriving at The Dylan specifically memorable
- 40 individually designed rooms in 4 style collections: the most variety per room count of any Amsterdam boutique hotel
- High Wine experience: the wine-paired afternoon tea that is the most cited specific Amsterdam hotel indulgence
- Restaurant Vinkeles (Michelin One Star): fine dining in an 18th-century bakery setting within the hotel
- Keizersgracht Nine Streets position: the most shopped and explored canal in Amsterdam, with the boutiques of the Negen Straatjes accessible from the front door
- Most romantic boutique hotel in the canal belt: the unanimous recommendation for special-occasion Amsterdam stays under €700/night
