Fodor's Expert Review Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam
Dam 9, Amsterdam, North Holland, 1012 JS, Netherlands
While you can still inhale a true Belle Epoque atmosphere in some of the hotel’s public areas, including the soaringly beautiful Wintertuin ("Winter Garden," now the hotel's breakfast room) and the stuccoed and gilded White Room restaurant, most of this Dam Square landmark’s interior is completely modern in style. Smack in the middle of the Dam Square action, the Krasnapolsky attracts business travelers and tourists alike, including many families. Rooms, tastefully renovated in 2022 and decorated in warm, neutral colors, come in a wide variety of sizes; some feature terraces, Dam Square views, and Jacuzzi tubs. Breakfasts in the Winter Garden, a masterpiece of 19th-century allure—under a greenhouse roof and with Victorian chandeliers—might make you feel like a countess or duke. Enjoy lavish, globally inspired, locally sourced cuisine in the Michelin-starred White Room restaurant, or sip a bespoke cocktail in the award-winning Tailor bar before hitting the hay.
