“It’s the Amsterdam<\/a> postcard image – riding a sit-up-and-beg bicycle along a canal path flanked by tall houses. These narrow buildings with their flood-safe ground floors elevated from street level were once merchant houses and warehouses. Here are five that are now hotels overlooking the Dam’s UNESCO World Heritage status canals.<\/p>\n

Canal House<\/strong>
—————-<\/p>\n

\"a<\/p>\n

This design hotel occupies three adjoining merchant houses on the Kings Canal. Its interior is striking, but the garden is something else. Gardens were a reliable measure of a homeowner’s wealth in Amsterdam, and at Canal House<\/a> the outdoor space suggests that these three merchants were very well to do indeed – it’s one of the biggest gardens in the city, offering a rare private sanctuary in the heart of town. A small house at the bottom of it serves as an airy meeting space.<\/p>\n

The Toren<\/strong>
————–<\/p>\n

\"a<\/p>\n

Also on Kings Canal, and just a short stroll from Anne Frank’s House, The Toren<\/a> dates all the way back to 1618. It’s made up of two historic canal houses, but they haven’t been knocked through into one – in fact, they aren’t even next to each other. The main house (no. 164) has the reception desk, garden and lounge bar, complete with a hand-painted ceiling by students from the University of Leiden (Rembrandt’s alma mater<\/em>). In the Private House (no. 146) you get the same level of service and d\u00e9cor without all the noise and bustle of public areas, giving more of a ‘home from home’ experience. Your call…<\/p>\n

Hotel Estherea<\/strong>
——————-<\/p>\n

\"dining<\/p>\n

Located on Amsterdam’s oldest major canal, Hotel Estherea<\/a> consists of a whole row of canal houses. It started as just one, bought by a widow called Maria Flieger-Gruyters during World War II. As she acquired neighbouring properties, the hotel grew both in size – and as it became more successful, it became more luxurious too. Now run by Maria Flieger-Gruyters’ granddaughter, it still combines a family feel with a high level of comfort and service. It also has a fabulous 24-hour bar, a fully-equipped gym, and bike and scooter hire. Two wheels are probably the best way to explore Amsterdam, so that last one is a major plus.<\/p>\n

The Pulizter<\/strong>
—————–<\/p>\n

\"pulitzer<\/p>\n

Take a stroll along the Prinsengracht and you’ll pass a row of 25 pretty canal house. However, hiding behind the traditional facades is one elegant hotel: The Pulitzer<\/a>. Its oldest house dates back to 1613, but the hotel’s newly renovated interior is a maze of beautifully crafted bedrooms, tranquil gardens and relaxed public spaces. Based in the lively Nine Streets district, it’s an amazingly well-hidden haven – just perfect for exploring the city and enjoying a chic slice of Amsterdam history.<\/p>\n

International Budget Hostel<\/strong>
——————————–<\/p>\n

\"front<\/p>\n

The International Budget Hostel<\/a> is in a 17th-century waterside warehouse, and it proves that not all canal houses are budget-blowers. By Amsterdam canal house standards, it’s cheap. The cosy lounge overlooks peaceful Leidsegracht, a lovely waterside street in the south-west of the city centre, and is just the place to meet like-minded travellers over breakfast (assuming you haven’t already met them in the mixed dorm). If you’re not up for dorm-style accommodation or are travelling in a group, you can book a three, four or six-bed private room. Multi-lingual staff, a superb location and a historic building make this a top budget pick.<\/p>\n
