One of the best views of the historic heart of Amsterdam can now be found at SkyLounge. This trendy cocktail bar on the 11th floor of the DoubleTree by Hilton is a purveyor of delicious and expensive drinks, but the terrific view of the city centre is actually priceless. Fortunately, the staff are a little slow at this altitude so you can make your elaborate cocktail last quite a while at this breathtaking location.
