Also, much more into the Waldorf Astoria of late over the Conservatorium.
Also, worth noting that the 2 Michelin star restaurant at the Waldorf Astoria is closed for summer.

Their restaurant sounds good too IMHO incl. the following description at the Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam:
At Restaurant Bridges, it's all about fish. Chef de Cuisine Bobby Rust serves modern and trendy dishes. Within a few months of opening, Bridges was heralded as one of the best restaurants in Holland.

Creating an elegant and refined boutique hotel in the centre of Amsterdam, they transformed part of their house into two beautiful suites, reflecting the romantic atmosphere of the historical city. Here, guests enjoy the lavish treatment the owners have to offer, including a luxurious champagne breakfast in the classic diningroom with a view on the park that has inspired so many artists throughout time. A stay at the Breitner House is the unique opportunity to experience the splendour of Amsterdam whilst enjoying the treatment of one of its best hotels.

As for De l'Europe, it's one of my favorite hotels in Europe.
Service is on par with what we call luxury on this forum but that's to be expected with the price they charge and the size of the hotel (close to a hundred rooms so you won't find any large scale convention bothering patrons). It's close to a "boutique" feel and they remember you. They've done wonders when it comes to small touches (ex : the front desk opening without asking anything the terrace of one of the banquet rooms at 4 in the morning in order to enjoy with a friend the canal and them delivering room service there which remains a good memory up to today

Staying at de L'Europe this May. Initially I was a little concerned because I had never heard of it, and booked it only because it has rooms with balconies, but reviews here seem like it is a good choice after all.
