The Bar/Lounge at Sir Albert Hotel

"Located in the former Van Moppes diamond factory in De Pijp, a creative neighbourhood that could benefit from a few touches of refinement, the 90-room property is outfitted in monochrome with accents of tobacco brown by Irene Kronenberg and Alon Baranowitz of BK Architecture"

"Contact the concierge in advance to book a table at the buzzy IZAKAYA Asian Kitchen & Bar, filled with beautiful people every night; or if you're not in the mood to see and be seen, opt for the room service menu, which also includes burgers from the popular neighborhood joint The Butcher"

"Guests gravitate to calm of The Study, a spacious library-themed lounge with a sleek modern hearth"

"The bar stocks more than 300 premium wines in the wine cellar and serves a multitude of house-infused tonics based on the ancient Japanese spirit shochu"

"In Amsterdam, it’s a fact barely worth remarking on"
