Our hints & tips
This grand canal palace was once owned by the founder of the Dutch East India Trading Company and previously a bank. An extensive 6- year renovation programme has restored its shine and glamour.
If you can drag yourself away from the sumptuous bedrooms, relax in the wonderful Guerlin spa. In the summer you can soak up the sun in the beautiful gardens.
Take afternoon tea in Peacock Alley or enjoy an indulgent meal in the 2 Michelin-starred restaurant, Librijes Zusje.
