Hotel Andaz

Enviably located right in the Nine Streets region, surrounded by canals and neighboring Jordann, your stay at the swanky Andaz will surely be memorable. Although the exterior of the property is unimpressive, upon entering the recently renovated lobby area you will understand why we have given this luxury boutique hotel such high reviews. The décor is unique and sophisticated yet comfortable, with enticing guest areas. The interesting restaurants and bars are modernly decorated and there are video art installations throughout the hotel. Graceful private eating rooms are available for hire. The comfortable rooms are good in size and generous in natural light, mostly individually decorated, and we loved the suites with the extra bonus of views of the canal. The hotel staff is friendly and efficient. There are complimentary bikes available for guests and it is a pet-friendly hotel.
