Amsterdam: The Dylan
An Intimate Stage on the Keizersgracht
The Dylan occupies Amsterdam's first theatre, a building on the Keizersgracht canal with roots back to 1612, when it opened as the Duytsche Academie under playwright and physician Samuel Coster. Rebuilt after a fire in the 1770s and reimagined since as a boutique hotel, it pairs that history with rooms designed individually by London designer Anouska Hempel, each one balancing sleek modern touches against original architectural detail. A quiet interior courtyard and lounge give the whole place the feel of a private home rather than a hotel.
Dinner happens at Vinkeles, the hotel's two-Michelin-starred restaurant set inside a former 18th-century bakery, original ovens still visible from the dining room. Beyond the property, the concierge team works from genuine relationships with local makers and partners, arranging things like a private visit to a neighboring antique mirror gallery, a canal journey aboard the hotel's own boat with a three-course menu, or a tailored countryside day out with a private chauffeur, each one shaped around the individual guest.
