The Dylan Amsterdam

From the row of bright-green apples beside the bed, to the dapper black suits worn by staff, everything at The Dylan is designed with utmost precision.

Contemporary furnishings and striking colour (and lack of colour) schemes in public areas and bedrooms contrast yet combine well with the 17th-century canal-side buildings.

The Michelin-starred Vinkeles, which serves contemporary French dishes in the complex’s former bakery, offers some of the best fine dining in the city.
