Glittering sumptuous luxury delivered with warmth and hospitality.
Pros:

From our late arrival after 48 hours of travel - the doors of the taxi were opened, glass of champagne in hand, and we were lead through the charming, glittering lobby by “Moh” and settled in to our room that felt like a cozy sanctuary after the chaos of international travel.

As a travel advisor, I am excited that I have this in my back pocket to present to my clients who appreciate the value of this kind of unpretentious luxury. The hotel is rooted squarely in Amsterdam’s history, and you’ll recognize it by its Dutch Neo-Renaissance exterior. But also, as you enter, you’ll feel and see a harmonious blend of the past and modern times. If you are a patron of the arts and interested in Dutch masters, you will be delighted to see several museum-grade and licensed reproductions hanging throughout the lobby.

You may wonder why there is a portrait of Alfred “Freddy” Heineken near the front desk. The hotel is privately owned by the Heineken family and has been since the 1950’s.

There are several restaurants but since this review is getting a bit long - I’ll just mention Flore because the chef and his team has earned the restaurant 2 Michelin Stars and a Michelin Green Star for sustainability. It. Is. Exquisite.

There. Can you tell that we enjoyed our stay? Thank you, De L’Europe. Hope to see you next year!

The perfect spot to call home in Amsterdam.
Pros:

With it's location on the Amstel and walking proximity to practically all the sites we visited, the Hotel de L'Europe was the perfect place to call home during our Amsterdam getaway.
We opted for the junior suite to allow for a bit more space. Though the room and bath were spacious we did feel it was a bit dark both in color & lighting it was interior & only had a courtyard view. The room amenities were nice, but other hotels in this category usually offer more than one complimentary water per day.
The staff really make the de L'Europe shine as they work hard to make guests feel welcome and keep the property in top shape. Many thanks to Jordan for your warm welcome & helpful strategies for exploring. Also a huge thanks to Sander & Sabrina from the concierge team for your pre-arrival assistance. Thanks as well to Nita in Marie for your great service at breakfast. Dicky, Dyma, & Guido at Freddy's were friendly and welcoming. Samuel of the Bellman team was also a great resource.

Say hello to Jordan
Pros:

The hotel’s location is central and convenient to shops and restaurants. The hotel is beautiful and Posh customers will enjoy that the suites have butler service. We met our butler upon checking in, but that was the first and last interaction.
Had a top notch dining experience at Flore.
A special shout out to Jordan the excellent bellmen who assisted us upon checking in and out. Jordan’s warmth made it a special experience. Photos include pics taken from a river view suite.

Exceptional Pre-Arrival Service from Sweta
Pros:

Exceptional Pre-Arrival Service from Sweta

We have stayed at Hotel De L’Europe twice before and loved both experiences, which is why we are so pleased to be returning. Although we have not yet arrived for our upcoming stay, the pre-arrival assistance we have received from Sweta has already been exceptional.

She has been extraordinarily responsive, thorough, and thoughtful throughout the planning process. She patiently answered our questions, helped coordinate arrangements for multiple family members, and paid close attention to the details that will make our stay more comfortable and special.

We are traveling to celebrate two family birthdays, and Sweta has approached every interaction with genuine warmth and care. Her communication has been clear, professional, and highly personalized, and she has made the entire planning process seamless.

Sweta is a wonderful representative of Hotel De L’Europe. We already feel extremely well looked after and are very much looking forward to returning in August.

Absolutely wonderful
Pros:

The hotel was excellent overall.

Starting out, we arrived and the hotel staff immediately took our bags to deliver to our rooms. They got us checked in and gave us a tour of the hotel.

Once in the room, Jordan arrived with our bags and gave us some more information about Amsterdam and its history. An amazing introduction to the city.

We ate at the Marie Brasserie that evening. Wonderful views and even more amazing food. The staff was also fantastic.

Overall, we have to come back. It was phenomenal.
