Thanks so much! Your comments confirm that the De L'Europe is likely ideal.
Would you say that a water-view junior suite is sufficient for just a couple nights or is there a noticeable difference between them and the full suites?
Also if you recall--are there smoking rooms? Trying to avoid yet another expensive phone call while Skype is down.
A junior suite is 45/50 square meters / a regular suite is 60/70 square meters. I could have put 10 people in the living room part of the suite. If you want to entertain people a junior suite won't do the deal, otherwise the size is very decent for a single / couple traveling. I felt I had my own apartment there with the regular suite. But they try to upgrade so a junior suite booking through virtuoso should land you a nice room.
Rooms are non smoking and I was specifically warned not to try to test it by the valet (in his own words : "First time the alarm goes off is ok, second time firemen won't be happy" in a dutch / english vocabulary)
