On arrival at The American they could not find our reservation. We were joining friends who were already checked in and after being told they had lost our booking and the hotel was full we were not very happy. We were booked out to the Park Hotel for the night and promised an upgrade for the following night in the... more

My husband and myself enjoyed a 3 night stay at the American Hotel to celebrate our 1st Wedding Anniversary. I can't fault the hotel, service and city itself. We had a really fabulous time. Our room was huge, spotlessly clean and although we didn't dive into the mini bar it was still nice to have. We did not hear ANY... more

Bar American has had yet another refurbishment (it's about the 10th makeover it's had within ten years!) and the cocktail menu is different, the barman even remembered the cocktail I'd drunk there a few years ago and offered to make it for me, which was... more

My husband and I just returned from a two week honeymoon in Europe and Amsterdam was our middle stop between Ireland and Paris. We had a great time in Amsterdam and thought that the American was a great place to stay. It's in a fantastic location, we came from the airport on the tram, which was totally cheap and even... more

As a regular visitor to Amsterdam (at least 3 or 4 trips per year) I have been a big fan of this Hotel and have stayed there at least 30 times. This place was previously owned by the Intercontinental Hotel group and later became a 5 star Crowne Plaza owned Hotel. Throughout this time my numerous visits were made very... more

We just got back from the American Amsterdam and had a great time. The hotel is in an excellent location 2 minute walk (stagger ;-) ) to all the bars in Leidesplan Square.
