Hotel TwentySeven - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

I booked Hotel Twenty Seven as a surprise for my partner’s birthday, as well as drinks at the bar and the tasting menu at the Bougainville restaurant. I had very high hopes and they were absolutely met from start to finish. Upon arrival the reception staff were very lovely and welcoming. Our personal butler showed us to our suit, which was stunning. Super comfortable bed, amazing steam shower, and what a treat to be right in the middle of Dam Square but not hear any of the noise! The windows are perfectly designed for soundproof sleep. We have stayed in a lot of 5 star hotels that don’t quite live up to there rating but Hotel Twenty Seven will definitely not disappoint and is by far and away the best hotel in Amsterdam (and I’ve stayed in a lot!). Planned return for this December and looking forward to it already!

We walked into the reception area quite casually and a bit early on June 9th, hoping to leave our suitcase so we could stroll around The Dam Square area before checking in. What we did not expect was the incredibly kind, laid-back yet professional welcome at reception. We had a brief chat with the two lovely ladies, whose outfits were perfectly on point if I may add, and to our surprise they offered a FOC upgrade and an early check-in. So, from our point of view, two surprises within 5 minutes of walking through the entrance door. Amazing. After taking the elevator up to the 4th floor, we were welcomed by the floor's butler. Another very warm, professional, and calm, easy-going member of the team. Who really took their time to show us the room and all its features. The attention to detail in the room is unparalleled. The friendly welcome letter, the small birthday cake, the noise blocking double windows, and the amazing bathroom, to name but a few. And the room felt very balanced, with curtains, wallpaper, lay-out, furniture, and artwork all living together purposefully. A lot of thought has been put into that, and it certainly shows. I could write a full length chapter about the 5-course taster menu we enjoyed that evening. All we can say is that we had the best dinner experience we've ever had. And we've had a few around the world. The restaurant team working that evening was exceptional. Truly. And the food simply exquisite, both in taste and presentation. We hope that Eric Toren feels his vision behind Hotel TwentySeven has been realised. Because we certainly think it has. We run our own international retail business, with one of our shops located in Amsterdam. We like to think we know how much effort it takes to execute on a vision, not just by some in the team, but by all. It's the hardest thing to achieve. And we've experienced that by staying at Hotel 27, laced with a rock 'n roll chique & cool vibe which is just right up our alley.
