The Bar/Lounge at Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht

"Guests are not nickel-and-dimed but benefit from free happy hour and minibar offerings in awesome modern surroundings"

"The light-flooded gym is worth a visit for its perky fluorescent paint job by Italian artist Daniele Innamorato, as is the lobby bar, which serves a mean peppery gin and tonic"

"Unique touches include 50 video screens placed throughout the hotel that show original video art 24/7 (you can also watch the full videos on the TV in your room), free wine every day from 5 to 7 pm in the library, and complimentary minibars, minus alcoholic beverages"

"Bluespoon Bar, the hotel’s speakeasy-type watering hole, serves up strong artisanal cocktails and upscale tapas-like snacks (think plates of smoked eel and pickled herring)"

"As guests walk into the Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht, they are greeted with a welcome cocktail in the funky lounge, followed by stress-free check-in on a computerized tablet"
