The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Seven one Seven

"From the arty Picasso Suite to the OTT Stravinsky Room with its own piano, here are eight enormous suites where the room rates include breakfast, afternoon tea, drinks from the mini-bar and your choice of house wines"

"Each of the nine rooms and suites features both modern and antique décor, Bang & Olufsen DVD players, stereos with CD players, wireless Internet, a mini-bar, an in-room safe and stationery"

" Another luxury boutique hotel worth considering could be the Canal House, which has swanky and spacious rooms, and an on-site stylish bar"

"Romantic lounges; leafy courtyard where breakfast is served in summer"

"There are bars all around, and you get a taste of authentic Dutch life that red-light-obsessed tourists can easily miss"
