Best Property in Amsterdam?

Hi guys, I should have a trip in AMS in june, I was wondering which is the best property where use gold points for 2 nights stay?

I'm considering:

- Radisson Blu Hotel Amsterdam (70.000 pts)
- Park Plaza Vondel Park (44.000 pts ^^)

I'm discarding the art'otel for some reasons, but if really suggested, I can consider it.

Which one is the best?
Of course I had a look on other threads, but I'm still undecided, and it's a while I've not been in Amsterdam.

Are them good properties where redempt my pts?
(I mean, for instance the Radisson Royal CPH is horrible with , even if the redemption rate is 70.000 pts in any case! )

Many thanks

Park plaza is a more downmarket brand than RB, this is reflected in the price and number of points needed for redemptions.

As for the best Carlson hotel, Art'otel is better than Radisson and is in a better location.

Thanks. For some reasons I'm going to focus on the PP Vondelpark: Is it in a bad/not convenient location? Are points wasted with it? What about the property (nice/bad/old/new/etc)? thanks

Isn't the Art'otel the one with the frosted glass bathroom walls, not private enough for many people?

are T&C for redemption nights changed?
I mean, if i book an award night with pts, and then cancel it before deadline, pts will be refunded completely, correct?

I don't stay in Park Plaza, not really for me.

I would always book RB.

Direct experience on PP Vondelpark and/or RB Amsterdam?
Does the RB Amsterdam worths the huge points expenditure?
