At a prestigious address overlooking
the Keisersgracht canal is Blakes - the latest masterpiece by the
talented designer / hotelier Anouska Hempel who also manages it.
Blakes distinguishes itself by its stylish intimacy. The 26 rooms
and suites are decorated in gorgeous fabrics, each one themed on
Dutch history in different colours with touches of the orient.

The Restaurant serves cuisine inspired
by the 16th century merchant venturers: a cross between Japanese
and Thai with influences from Italy and France. The service is impeccable,
and the standards exemplary. The restaurant, bar and a secluded
garden are discreetly hidden behind this landmark building making
Blakes arguably Amsterdam's most sophisticated place to stay. |
