Ambassade Hotel

Infinitely classy, but never brash, the elegant Ambassade has is a refined retreat from the hurly-burly of the city. The hotel occupies a series of tastefully renovated 17th-century canal houses in a prime location and, to add to the ambiance, pieces of modern art are distributed throughout the lounge and study. The guest rooms are decorated in an appealing period-meets-country-house style and breakfast is taken in the panelled dining room, where the merchant owners once surveyed the scene.
