Canal House
The modern influence is actually of fairly recent vintage, the Canal House having been thoroughly renovated by its new owners, Curious Hotels, the international micro-chain whose other links include Cowley Manor, L’Hôtel, and the Portobello Hotel. Anyone familiar with their previous work will immediately grasp the concept here: all three are smallish, quite stylish, and though contemporary in aspect, exceedingly well tailored to the locale.
Here in Amsterdam that means a cozy, warren-like floor plan, picturesque canal views in the best rooms, and a design that’s full of contrast between lush materials and austere forms — aesthetic echoes, perhaps, of the city’s dual Catholic/Protestant heritage, if you’ve got your cultural-studies hat on. However you look at it it’s a triumph of moderation, a veritable ode to compromise, and a worthy addition to Amsterdam’s high-end hotel scene.

The location, great atmosphere, excellent service and cozy rooms
The hotel is in a great location, close to shopping and dining. It is clean and quiet. It feels like an upscale hostel. The linens, in room coffee and bathroom amenities are very nice. My room was on the first floor and opened to a beautiful garden. A nice breakfast in a pretty restaurant was included.
The staff were excellent, helpful and informative. The hotel was stylish and comfortable.
