What do world renowned celebrities like Schubert, Picasso, Tolkien, Shakespeare and Charles Dickens have in common? All of these men have a suite named after them in this boutique hotel in Amsterdam Centrum. Although boutique hotels are not at all scarce in the area, Seven One Seven is still a trend setter. Its stylish and comfortable rooms offer big beds, free wi-fi, climate control and a mini-bar stocked with complimentary drinks, but bear in mind that luxurious surroundings don't come cheap here. This historic canal house doesn't have a restaurant, but the neighbourhood is teeming with bars and cafés.
