Mr. Jordaan Amsterdam - In the Most Beautiful Part of the City

Narrow streets, crooked houses and scenic canals. The Jordaan is one of the most beautiful and authentic neighborhoods in Amsterdam. Right in the middle stands a narrow canal house from 1896 - the home of Mr. Jordaan.

Mr. Jordaan grew up on the Bloemgracht and at some point started renting out his couch for travelers. Through years of experience, he knew what guests appreciated and loved. At some point, he bought the narrow canal house next door and turned it into a gorgeous hotel - perfection and style down to the last corner.

We could write another three paragraphs about the super friendly staff, the delicious breakfast or the lightning-fast WIFI. But: The excellent customer reviews speak for themselves. Not surprisingly, this hotel is often fully booked. So book in time.

After the drink, head to your room to freshen up for the evening in the city. A spacious bathroom with natural stones and the elegant design of the room sweetens every minute in this world-class hotel. The Dylan Amsterdam is simply in a league of its own.
