The Dylan Amsterdam is a 40-room boutique hotel on the Keizersgracht and a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. It occupies a historic site in the Canal Ring whose past stretches back to a 17th-century theatre designed by Jacob van Campen; the buildings later served as an almshouse and a Catholic charitable bakery before becoming a hotel in 1999. The interiors pair listed Dutch architecture with a contemporary, timeless design, and a quiet courtyard sits at the heart of the property. Its setting is among the most appealing in the city — in the Negen Straatjes, the Nine Little Streets of independent shops, cafés and galleries, with the Jordaan a few minutes away. The hotel's culinary reputation rests on Restaurant Vinkeles, set in the 18th-century bakery ovens and holding two Michelin stars. With so few rooms, it feels personal and discreet rather than grand.
