Frommer's Exceptional

This is Amsterdam's smallest and most personal five-star hotel. Because of its excellent restaurant , the Garden considers itself a "culinary hotel," an idea that extends to the rooms, whose color schemes are salad-green, salmon-pink, cherry-red, and grape-blue -- you can choose whichever suits you best. The rooms themselves are furnished and equipped to the highest standards and with refined taste. Bathrooms are marble, and each has a Jacuzzi tub. The spectacular lobby has a wall-to-wall fireplace with a copper-sheathed chimney. The simply superb French-Mediterranean Mangerie de Kersentuin (Cherry Orchard) restaurant, a member of Les Etappes du Bon Goût, has a deserved international reputation; all things considered, its menu is reasonably priced. The Kersepit (Cherry Pit) is a cozy bar with an open fireplace and a vast range of Scotch whiskeys.
