WHY AMSTERDAM
Canals, bikes and museums at walking pace — direct by train from London.
Amsterdam is compact, flat and made for wandering. Our stays are canal-side or in the quieter museum quarter, with saunas, pools and breakfast worth getting up for, close enough to the Rijksmuseum and Vondelpark to leave the map in your pocket.
