Would like some info on the interior courtyard. From what I understand you're not allowed to imbibe out there. Some other restrictions due to historical regulations in the core. If you can find anything out, please report.
Also would like your .02 cents on the restaurant.

And they did a very extensive and expensive renovation about 7-10 years ago so it's better than it was in 2000.

One of my 3 go-to properties in AMS (along with Conservatorium & De L'Europe).

I think it was a Sofitel in 2000 or shortly afterwards. But it is not at all a drab Sofitel. It is part of Sofitels Legend properties of which there are only 7 members. These are the top Sofitels around the world. See http://www.sofitel-legend.com/en/

Waldorf Amsterdam
We had a very pleasant stay there last summer. Some kinks were still being worked out. Regarding the inner courtyard, you may not order drinks out there but we did bring our drinks from the bar out there to enjoy. One needs to be a bit subtle and it would be so much better if they could serve you out there. I would STRONGLY avoid the ground floor rooms as you are basically looking out onto the sidewalk but the high floor rooms with canal or courtyard views are lovely.
