Hotel Amstelzicht
Room 207's sweeping canal view, the patterned carpeting, in-room espresso machine, and the warm staff of this 1659 Dutch canal house make it a quietly rewarding find for able-bodied travellers happy to tackle the famously steep, lift-free stairs, though families with young children, heavy luggage, or limited mobility may find the practicalities rather more trying than charming.
