⚠️ Before we go into recommendations, I just want to emphasise that not all rooms in these hotels have the canal view, so if you’re specifically looking for a room that has it, make sure to read the rooms descriptions before booking.

Also, my main tip is to book a hotel ASAP! The hotels in Amsterdam are to my surprise often even more expensive than in NYC or London, especially as the date to your travel approaches. If you want to make yourself a good deal, now is the time to book your stay!

Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam

Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam is one of the best luxury hotels in Amsterdam.

Which also puts this hotel in a great location – in the heart of Amsterdam.

Eden Hotel Amsterdam

Eden Hotel Amsterdam is a beautiful hotel in Amsterdam with a canal view.

From 1977 they have been expanding their building one at a time and connecting them together, which is why there’s a maze of corridors to each room and not one room being the same as the other.

What’s great about this hotel too is that it holds the Green Key Gold Award holder for sustainability.

Eden Hotel is one of the most affordable hotels with the canal view.

The Hoxton, Amsterdam

The Hoxton is made up of 5 canal houses and therefore one of the best hotels with the canal view.

It’s in a central location, but on the quiet street, which is what’s always important to me.

There are many rooms with the canal view to choose from, they are all different in size and price, so everyone should be able to find a room to suit their budget. They are not budget-friendly though, but they also won’t cost you a fortune.

It’s a really good value for the price.
