Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam

What the classifiers highlight

Six adjoined 17th- and 18th-century mansions line the Herengracht, rooms facing the canal or a courtyard garden, the largest private one in Amsterdam. Forbes gives it Five Stars and a place on its 2025 Icons list, kept for hotels over a century old under one name. Peacock Alley, done in Vermeer blue, recalls the corridor between the New York properties.
