Overview

A five-star tower by the Amstel canal, famous for its food: Hotel Okura Amsterdam is home to several Michelin-starred restaurants, including Ciel Bleu on the 23rd floor with views over the whole city. Japanese service, big rooms and a spa with an indoor pool make it a calm base just south of De Pijp.

Big windows, calm Japanese-inspired design and views across the city from the top floor: the Okura is made for food lovers. Hotel Okura Amsterdam stands beside the Noorder Amstelkanaal, at the southern edge of De Pijp. The Albert Cuyp market is about 15 minutes’ walk, and trams and the metro reach the centre and the museum quarter in around 10–15 minutes. See more Netherlands holidays.
