Seven one Seven

This rather well-kept secret of a hotel is the opposite of the grand gestures of the Amstel hotel, and the epitome of understated glamour. It's a small, flower-filled building that places emphasis on searching the globe for the best accoutrements - linens from the USA, bespoke blankets from Wales, box-spring mattresses from London. There is afternoon tea every day, and a patio for summer breakfasts or general lounging. Guests are the type that shed their euros on antiques in the Spiegelkwartier.
