Located in close proximity to the De Pijp area, the Okura is wonderfully located in a quiet area close to the tram and walking distance to many local restaurants. It is a luxury hotel, beautifully decorated with a modern Japanese theme. The standard rooms are well sized and comfortable with roomy well maintained bathrooms. The beds were clean and made sleeping a breeze. The temperature control worked flawlessly and kept the room pleasant. We had a room with a nice view of the canal making our Amsterdam visit feel very special. read more

Beautiful hotel centrally located to all things Amsterdam-museums, shopping, dining, metro. Modern Japanese inspired design. Rooms spacious and well appointed. 9th floor room with panoramic views. Quiet and concierges available to help. Restaurant for breakfast was standard fare-offerings both american and japanese breakfast fare.

Beds very comfortable and bathrooms light and airy and glassed in -open to room or has retractable shade. Our bath had tub and shower, no japanese toilet in our room however which we thought was standard -but are available in lobby. Plush bedding and towels, slippers robe and coffee maker.

Hotel Okura Amsterdam - Looking out our room window. - Hotels Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Japanese themed hotel with Michelin star restaurant. Stayed here for three days as it was one the recommended hotels for Viking Cruise. Lovely hotel but the rooms are very tight. Great location! Many walkable destinations (restaurants, museums, shopping stores) and it was beyond beautiful to have a nice river right in the front of the hotel. Amazing food options! The buffet breakfast has many different cultural styles breakfasts. You will definitely find something that you like. One of the evenings we were too tired to eat out so we order room service and the food was as delicious as the presentation! I did take one star off because the food options are all super expensive, would have likes at least one cheaper option for quick meals and the internet was very spotty for working purposes. Also, the hotel and Viking cruise picked us up from the airport, I understand that most hotel rooms have afternoon check in however I wish the hotel and Viking worked together more to make it so after a long 16 hours of travel we had a room ready. Overall 4/5 read more

We stayed for a couple of nights following a Viking river cruise on the Rhine. Both the hotel staff and the Viking rep were fantastic and friendly. Convenient location for our needs, and very close to metro, shopping, and restaurant areas. About a 12 min walk to the home where the Frank family lived prior to WWII; be sure to visit the Anne Frank statue. Pastry pop-up in Hotel Okura was a bonus! read more

Outstanding Michelin rated hotel in Amsterdam. Got a room on the 21st floor with a great view of the city. Four restaurants in the hotel: Ciel Bleu perched on the 23rd floor has two Michelin Stars serves up French fine dining; Yamazato has one Michelin Star and is a kaiseki Japanese restaurant; Serre has a Michelin Mention. There is also a habatchi table Japanese restaurant. Hotel has heated swimming pool, spa, panorama lounge, etc. Drinks in mini bar (beer, soda, juice, water) are complimentary. Truly a hotel destination as well as a culinary destination. read more

Excellent hotel - 5 star service all the way from reception to the choice of fine dining options. We were here with a Viking cruise - thanks Viking for choosing such a great hotel to end our trip with. Rooms are huge and well appointed. Bathroom is as big as a guestroom, very nice. Location is in the city, but outside the hussle & bustle of the central district - short 5 minute train ride and the train stop is right out the from door. The museum district is only a 15 minute walk. read more

High end Nikko hotel. Room was great and well appointed. Only at at Serre which has a Bib Gourmand award from Michelin. Food great. three other restaurants on site, two of which have stars. Highly recommend read more

Hotel is nice and service is good. BUT - the walls are thin. First 2 nights were great. 3rd night the room next to me there were several night workers in the room next to mine. Impossible to sleep, they were making noises nobody should have to hear for hours despite complaining to the front desk Highly discourage families/kids from staying here in particular. read more

Beautiful hotel in a walkable area. Service was top notch as was the food and the canal cruise. Enjoyed all aspects of our visit and the ease of hopping on the tram just outside the hotel. Will definitely return when back in Amsterdam. read more

A beautiful hotel with two Michelin restaurants, rooftop bar, spa, and fitness center. We spent two nights there in June 2025 while on a Viking River cruise. Our room had a huge picture window that gave us a beautiful view of Amsterdam and a canal eight stories below. We had two breakfasts and one lunch in the hotel, all three were excellent. We didn't have an opportunity to use the spa. Our room was large with a king-sized bed. The bathroom was divided from the sleeping area with a wall sized window, with a power blind to block viewing if desired. The bathroom areas contained a large bathtub, designed for soaking, a large glass walled shower and a large modern bowl sink. There was storage for toiletries on a small shelf and beneath the sink. A beautiful room arranged by Viking. There was also a large dresser with a refrigerator stocked with bottled drinks and a large closet with a safe and a large tv that you could adjust from a wall mount. A very nice room. Room service for ice was quick and a call for an extension cord to connect a CPAP machine resulted in quick service and the actually moving the bed to access a US style electrical outlet. We had European adapters for our river cruise, but they were the German style needed for the ship, not the style used in the hotel room. But the hotel quickly solved the problem. All in all, an excellent stay. The hotel is in a neighborhood where small shops, a grocery store and a tram stop are easily accessible. We took advantage of the tram and beautiful weather and didn't get to spend more time in the room as we could have. Hopefully, next time read more

Amazing staff, superb service and attentive housekeeping. I would highly recommend this hotel. Situated within walking distance from many restaurants and activities- very nice neighborhood. Lots of good options within the hotel and a lovely bar in the 23rd floor. read more

We stayed here for 4 days. The staff and amenities were excellent. The suite was comfortable and large. The restroom was really large by European standards. Room was very modern with automated curtains and lights. The AC was functional and very cold. The room was always cleaned multiple times a day. Water and soda in the fridge were free - it was reloaded daily. The in-house Teppanyaki and Sashimi restaurants were amazing. There are multiple restaurants and an open air market within 10min walk. Taxis are always queued up for pickup. It's a great hotel and the staff are super nice. 100/100. Great stay... read more

Hotel Okura Amsterdam - View from the room. - Hotels Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

From the moment I booked my suite, I was warmly greeted with a welcome email asking if I have any special requests. Okura not only allowed us to check in early (our flight from Los Angeles landed at 7AM), but they also provided me with the suite I requested with an amazing view on the highest floor possible! Due to COVID, my girlfriend and I had to schedule a specific time for the amenities but this actually worked out to our benefit because we do not like big crowds. The location was exactly what we wanted. Okura hotel is less than 15 minutes from the airport and has the most amazing restaurants within 5 -10 minutes walking distance. We did not get a chance to eat at the hotel because my girlfriend wanted to explore the city, but we had some very strong drinks at the rooftop bar which had the best views, great bartenders and comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended! The staff was my favorite part, they made us feel like royalty and provided us recommendations for entertainment, vegan food places (for my girlfriend), local hotspots and museums. I accidentally left my phone at the airport my first day in Amsterdam and the hotel was able to connect me with the lost and found department and also give me a discounted ride to the airport by one of their taxis. Nick at the front desk will make you feel like family! The room (executive junior suite) was worth every penny! My favorite features were the curtains automatically opening up to a panoramic view, the huge bathroom but most importantly THE BED!!!!! I chose Okura because I wanted everything to be perfect for our first international trip together and this hotel went above and beyond to make sure my girlfriend and I remained comfortable every single day. I am not lying when I say we will check for the Okura brand every time we travel and we are already planning our next trips to San Francisco for a wedding in October and Tokyo for New Years Eve and we plan to stay at the Okura! read more

We stayed at the Okura towards the end of September 2019, during the KLM luggage strike. Hence we arrived with nothing. They were so nice to us by giving us toothbrushes and toothpaste since ours were stuck in the strike, it wasn't just a few hours and my traveling partner still hasn't reviewed her bag back home a week later. I was lucky and got mine delivered to the hotel The hotel manager on duty left a nice note apologizing for our inconvenience and a tin of strop waffles. Also they mentioned we should contact them if we need anything. HOWEVER, when I asked to use a house phone to call KLM they refused, so that was an expensive phone call. We needed that after what we had been through with KLM flight re-route & luggage loss. Thumbs down to KLM! At least the Okura staff was kind and welcoming. Besides that it's a true 5 star hotel. Excellent service, accommodations, room, bathroom and soaking tub. Not to mention the cutest engineer who came to fix my reading lamp switch. I wanted to break stuff to call him back. Oh well. Hit me up if you can figure out who I am, hint I've got short hair. Great hotel. Don't miss the bar on the 23rd floor. Great views and cocktails. The Gin Sunset was my preferred one. read more

We're coming off a Viking river cruise. Rooms are very nice. However it seems to a big convention destination so it's VERY loud at night. I had to go to the front desk to have them calm down our LOUD floor. Spent 6 hours walking around Amsterdam only to come back to a room that still was not cleaned . There are plenty of hotels in Amsterdam, I would not go back. read more

A Japanese themed hotel in Amsterdam? Sure, why not! It's beautiful during the day when you stroll outside of the hotel. In April, there were tons of cherry blossoms around and the hotel is very clean and updated. It was a little difficult to find in the dark when the trains are closed, and it's kind off the path of where you would want to stay in Amsterdam. However, we stayed here for a few days before moving to City Centre in Amsterdam and it was a good way for us to unwind after a long day of flying. We stayed here for two nights and it was perfect. read more

From the outside, the hotel looks like a 4-star, but everything changes once you passed the main entrance. The front desk staff was very courteous and efficient, but their politeness seemed genuine and not staged. I was upgraded to the Executive room because of my membership to the Leading Hotels of the World. The room was spacious and smartly decorated. Bedding and linen were comfort at its finest. Been a Japanese owned hotel, they have a robot toilet that does more than most people care to experience...it was interesting to say the least! The Executive room gave me access to the lounge which has good quality food, snacks and drinks. They even stocked the finest Japanese beer...in Amsterdam, the home of Heineken! Breakfast is a feast. You can order your ramen noodle freshly made, or go with the traditional western usuals...all are part of the sumptuous breakfast buffet. The only drawback is the hotel is a bit farther away from the main attraction in Amsterdam for some people. I like it because it is tucked away is a nice quiet neighborhood, with plenty of picturesque canals nearby if you want some quiet time in this great city. read more

Was here for a music festival at the RAI which is just a hop skip and jump away... The hotel is very peaceful, serene and pretty. Staff is very helpful even though we were making unreasonable demands. We were on the redeye, arrived way to o early. We wanted to get our room asap. We arrived at the hotel by 8 am. Check in is 2 pm. Check out is 11 am. So we knew we were unreasonable. And yes we were cranky. Or should I say I was that extremely cranky American. They actually got us a room by 10:15 am. They rushed a room's cleaning as they were fully booked the night before. So they get extreme kudos for being so cool. The rooms are standard. The beds comfy. Ironically, the bedding doesn't look great in person or on camera, it looks lumpy. But it is extremely comfy. Seriously. And they have a pillow menu. I ordered a soft, medium and firm. I liked the medium best. But used all 3 for my 3 nights there. I ate at the breakfast. It iwas good but not worth 35+ EUROS. Their food prices are way out of the price range. Don't get me wrong, it was good food but comparable to what you can get for their prices, I suggest eating in town. Also we had sushi as yamazata. It was again good, but not worth the prices. I personally like my sushi a bit more thinly sliced than how they cut it. But service across the board at all places, restaurants, spas were simply top notch. I would definitely recommend this hotel when in Amsterdam. read more

This is the gold standard of hotels. Visited here for my honeymoon and right away the receptionist ensured our stay would be a memorable one. We booked the jr suite and had access to the executive lounge, with complimentary food and drinks available throughout most of the day. Excellent fitness center and pool/spa. The hotel is located away from the hustle and bustle of the City Center and very close to all that's happening in De Pijp, one of Amsterdam's trendiest neighborhoods. Can easily get the the city center and museums in less than 20 mins. The food at the hotel is excellent, a combination of Japanese, Dutch, and French offerings. You can't go wrong with this hotel, especially if you're looking for a peaceful place to relax. read more

An excellent hotel with great service and wonderful (though expensive) food. But the internet access (via iBahn) is about the worst I have ever encountered. I paid the €12/day fee for "premium" internet. I can't even imagine what the free internet service is like. Surely a hotel of this caliber can do better than iBahn. I came here on business and really need decent internet access. Update: if you're a tech person, know that I was able to get much better internet service by dropping my client MTU to 1480. If you don't know what that means don't worry about it. I should have tried it the first day. read more

I spent the nigth here with wife and daughter last saturday. I reserved by phone the day before and that experience was flawless. 5-star customer booking experience. First impression at arrival: this is a top class hotel. Even the parking garage got upgraded over the past years. The Okura is beautiful, it has world class restaurants, it has a big spacious entry and breathtaking foyer architecture. I reserved an executive suite by phone. I was promised a separate sitting area. Turned out to be a big hotel room on the 19th (exec) floor, but it was not a suite. Beautiful room, but just not a suite. That is 3 out of 5, because the price I paid was absolutely suite level - I stay in international hotels about 100 nights per year and this was the most expensive 24 hours in the past 2 years. The executive lounge has the size of 2-3 rooms and offered afternoon snacks, but there was nothing between breakfast and lunch but fruit (banana's, pears, apples). The afternoon snacks included delicious small Dutch kroketten and that makes up for a lot. Very nice staff too. In this class of hotel, the devil is in the details and there were too many details not in order. A few examples: an empty, even dented KyoKo tea bottle in the minibar. The curtains were closed when we came in and it was not immediately clear they are on a remote control, but we figured that out quickly. The TV remote did not work well, bad batteries I guess. There is a Nespresso machine with a choice of capsules. The bathroom is beautiful, spacious and the toilet has Japanese gadget level 5/5. The orientation lights did not go off and a tech assistant, later a real electrician, had to come to the room to fix it. Which did not work, in the end these orientation lights were disabled, it took not very long but it was late in the evening. In the end it was handled well. The spa/health club: looked great, friendly staff. Unfortunately, staff called 30 minutes before a scheduled treatment to say the masseuse got delayed due to traffic. Traffic - on a sunday morning, seriously? We could watch half the Amsterdam traffic from our 19th floor corner room and I can tell you - there was none. No apology. The masseuse was good in the end, so 3 out of 5. Nice quiet pool with jacuzi. The choice at breakfast is of a mid class hotel. Could be better. I would have expected more Japanese choices, like different noodles, fish, udon etc. Also more choice of cheeses and meats for the locals. Although it was not busy at breakfast, the staff was not paying a lot of attention. An order for two capucchinos was not recorded correctly and the waitress had to come back to ask what we ordered. When my wife got her capucchino after waiting too long, it was cold. Come on, that is unnecessary. The cook suggested pancakes for my daughter (I like that he was actively monitoring the guests and came up with suggestions proactively). The pancakes turned out to be one small 5' one. I don't understand that, just make a few (Dutch style) and put them on a plate. Quality: good, but nothing special. The overall experience lacked apologies from the frontdesk for the various nuisances we reported. =============== Update 5/15 I was contacted by the hotel GM with a very friendly, detailed and well written response to my review, offering apologies and explanations about initiatives that will be taken to further improve quality. That is superb customer service and I have therefore changed my rating to 4/5 from 3/5. read more

Very good hotel, i would easly recommend it. Food is awesome and bed is super comfortable with different pillows selection which is amazing for people who care extremely for their sleep quality. Extremely clean with friendly staff as well and if you are lucky enough you can get one of their amazing rooms looking directly to Amsterdam's city view which i found fascinating! Why 4 stars not 5? The room's floor is all carpet and looks not 100% clean, also for an allergic guy like me is awful, but unfortunately most of the hotels have carpet floors.

Where is the best view of Amsterdam to have cocktails, wine or champagne? This is "As good as it gets in Amsterdam"If your on the lookout for the best place in Amsterdam to find a marvelous view of the city then I would suggest visiting the Okura Hotel. It's a great place to get dolled up and enjoy dinner or cocktails. I have been here several times and love every time I come here. What a beautiful and fabulous hotel. I regret that I did not visit the one in Japan when I lived in Tokyo. The view of the city on the top floor of the hotel is stunning at Okura. The bar and restaurant is separate, so I would suggest making reservation if you plan on attending this five star restaurant. My favorite is the "Twenty Third Bar", it's situated on the 23 floor with a top view. I love coming here to soak up the ambiance, best specialty cocktails and spectacular view at night. read more

We stayed here for a very special night and it was wonderful. The staff are really nice and helpful and the rooms are beautiful. The layout reminds me of the St. Regis in San Francisco which is one of my favorite hotels in the world. We really made a time of it. Ate at the Restaurant (amazing, review to follow) and then rolled ourselves upstairs to our room. The rooms have a nice TV with hook-ups for any component (HDMI, etc), but they really should have been on a bracket that would allow them to move. Our TV pointed straight at a blank wall, about a meter from the bed... Oh, no ice machines (?). So you have to call down and have ice delivered to your room....a little odd, but not inconvenient in any way. Nice sized bathtub. There is also a spa for guests, but we slept too late to partake...hellas :) And a sweet top floor bar/restaurant/lounge!

Hotel Okura is the most impressive hotel I have ever had the pleasure to stay in! When we got to the hotel, Hotwire made a mistake that booked me for two rooms that were not adequate in size. The staff was extremely apologetic for the mistake, though it wasn't their fault, and took quick measures to accommodate me. In addition to this, the staff went above and beyond in making sure we had directions to all of the local eateries and attractions. Hotel Okura is no doubt the hotel that I will be booking for all future visits to Amsterdam. Matter of fact, it is because of this hotel that I am super excited about returning!!! Thank you Hotel Okura for making my trip to Amsterdam perfect! read more

The best hotel in the Netherlands! The best experience I've ever had. The whole weekend was a big surprise. The doorman was great, the receptionist was exceptional, the lady of Guest Relations was amazing and last but not least our Junior Suite was a blast. The TwentyThird Bar with her wonderful view was unforgettable and the breakfast was fully equipped with the best service. More than a five star hotel, it's a once in a lifetime experience. No words. Never ever will make such a review again... read more
