It will come as no surprise that Amsterdam is overrun with exceptional places to stay. And we mean every kind: 18th-century canalside mansions, converted bridge keepers\u2019 houses, luxury historic hotels that have hosted royal weddings \u2013 the lot. But that isn\u2019t to say that every stay here will blow the budget \u2013 there are plenty of affordable options in Amsterdam too, if you know where to look. On our list, we\u2019ve made sure to include a bit of everything, all individually reviewed and rated by Time Out\u2019s very own travel experts. Read on for five-star luxury, budget boutiques and everything in between. And for 2026, one hotel sits firmly at the top of the list: Rosewood Amsterdam, a spectacular new canalside stay that\u2019s quickly become the city\u2019s most talked-about address.<\/p>\n
What is the best neighbourhood to stay in Amsterdam?\u00a0<\/p>\n
There isn\u2019t necessarily one answer to this, as each of Amsterdam\u2019s districts offers something totally unique. If it\u2019s your first time in the city, Centrum is best to access touristy experiences. For something more off-grid (and often more affordable), you\u2019re best off catching the free ferry to Noord, Amsterdam\u2019s creative warehouse district. But\u00a0for a reliable all-rounder? We love hipster haven Oost, where you\u2019ll find many of the city\u2019s\u00a0coolest\u00a0bars, restaurants and hotels.
