Our take
Carrara marble bathrooms, balconies over the Amstel and a waterside terrace give De L'Europe one of the strongest settings in Amsterdam, and 320 reviews score it 9.2. I would book a river-view room for a special occasion and keep one evening for the fine dining. Travellers who want a casual, design-led hotel should look elsewhere, as the register here is classic luxury.
- Consider booking a room or suite with a balcony for direct views of the Amstel River and the city's historic architecture.
- Take advantage of the spa and wellness facilities for a relaxing afternoon after exploring the city.
- Enjoy a meal or a drink on the waterside terrace to experience the unique ambiance of the Amstel.

Why guests love itDe L'Europe works for families who want a polished five-star stay on the Amstel rather than a hotel built around children. Suites give more space than a standard room, and some rooms have balconies over the river and the historic centre, a view worth asking for. The waterside terrace suits a relaxed breakfast or a drink, while the spa and fitness area are for the adults. I would bring older children, as the setting and the fine dining are quite formal.
