Keukenhof Castle

Listen, this place right here...this is the place to be. I'm a big traveler and have stayed in dozens of hotels from The Ritz to La Quinta and this place topped them all - and this was my first time in Amsterdam. Absolutely unreal. Not only is it probably the best location in the city to see literally anything of interest, but the property itself is top notch. It has an incredible interior, it has an incredible bar (one of the best bars in Amsterdam, period). It has a beautiful courtyard and a restaurant with incredible food. And the rooms?? Yeah, imagine having the best shower ever and having perfectly temperature controlled with plenty of space in even the smallest rooms. But that's not even the best part - my Fiancé and I wanted to go out to eat so I insisted we converse with the concierge since the rest of the hotel was already 10/10, we must've gotten 5 recommendations for restaurants and tours from them and each one was off the charts. The first restaurant we went to greeted us and when we sat down...BOOM, glass of champagne at the restaurant COMPLIMENTS of the rosewood. Check in was easy, they took our bags, they called us Ubers and ever person there was friendly - I will seriously not stay anywhere else in Amsterdam when I return - there's no point - this place has everything you need. (Also shoutout to the concierge, Mara - sorry about the spelling - she totally rocks and they should pay her whatever she desires)
