Park Centraal Amsterdam

For a dose of culture and history, there’s no better place to base yourself than Park Centraal Amsterdam, a grand 160-year-old heritage hotel in the heart of the Netherlands’ capital. Spend your time exploring the canal-lined streets and weaving in and out of museums, vintage shops, bars and enchanting gardens. Return to your hotel – recipient of a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best 2021 award, placing it among the top 1% worldwide on the review site – and order a drink at Bar Claes, a sultry space serving up classic cocktails. Feast on mouthwatering Asian-fusion bites at the upscale MOMO restaurant and play a round of billiards in the funky lounge.
