When you choose your hotel, make sure that its location is perfect for your planned itinerary. You wouldn’t want to book a room in an area where you need to travel hours from the tourist spots.

Ask anyone who booked at Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam and they would all commend the hotel’s location. It is in the heart of Amsterdam where museums, heritage spots, and luxury shops are within your reach. Now you can easily buy your post-wedding presents! I’m giving you some ideas here, ladies. But seriously, if you want to enjoy what Amsterdam has for you, get a room at this hotel.

2. Intimate Rooms perfect for Couples
We stayed in one of the best rooms within Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam which is located in the hotel’s loft. Seeing our room, I wanted someone to pinch me because I still could not believe that I’m being housed in this classy and elegant property in Amsterdam. You see, I can still remember our days in South America when we were almost broke and I told Jonathan I’m going to luxuriously travel around Europe. And finally, it is happening right before my eyes.
Do you know what’s good about the rooms in Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam? Each is very unique, but all are equally stunning in their way. You can choose from their Guest Rooms, suites,s a, and Accessible Rooms which range from 28 – 123 sq. m. It’s pretty hard to choose which ones to specifically book because everything is a must-try.
What makes it even more perfect for honeymooners? The BED! My word, it is so comfortable and perfect after touring Amsterdam. You can get a good night’s rest – or other ‘good stuff’ late at night.
All the rooms include the following :
- 42 – inch flat screen TV
- Entertainment System
- Wi-FII (This one impressed me so much. If you watched our live video, you can tell that the connection is sturdy and reliable.)
- Desk

3. Romantic Views from all of the Rooms
As newlyweds, you would always want to start your day the best way you could. The sight of your partner first thing in the morning is already a treat, but the views of the canal or the courtyard garden from Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam will make it even more romantic. The rooms have large windows that will help you savor the view even more.
4. Dreamy Hotel Amenities
I’m pretty much content with what our room has to offer. But Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam was just starting. As I checked their amenities, I already wanted to pull Jonathan from our room to try these out (he was wearing his bathrobe in our room when I did the live video).
Guerlain Spa
Preparing for a wedding can be fun but extremely exhausting. Hence, a post-wedding massage treatment from Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam is perfect to calm down the nerves. There’s even an area where ladies can retouch themselves with high-end makeup products after their treatments.

5. Passionate Service from the Staff
The staff from Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam are so amazing. You can check some of them from my video. They are so warm and so genuine. ‘Passionate’ is the most appropriate description I could give them. They deserve a slow clap for that.
Can you believe that it was Jonathan’s first time visiting Amsterdam? The entire Dutch – experience given to us by Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam makes me want to come back once more. It was a high season when we visited Amsterdam but the hotel made us feel otherwise. It was so spacious and relaxing all in all. Some might say that the rooms are pricey. But if you weigh the class of service, the hotel’s location, and all the amenities you can get from it – I would say it’s worth it.
