After a great two night stay at the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam, we made our way over to the Andaz. While the walk was gorgeous, I lost some points for making us walk with all of our bags. Little did we know that I would make up those points (and then some) once we were shown to our room. The building housing the hotel used to be the public library on the Prisengracht canal (Prince's canal) and is situated in the Jordaan neighborhood of Amsterdam.

Andaz Amsterdam Check-In |
Check-in was smooth and took just a couple of minutes. The hotel was fully booked and because of that we had been upgraded to an Andaz Large Suite on the top floor of the hotel (5th). Check out the rate for this suite:
I'm not Hyatt Diamond (top elite tier) just Platinum thanks to the Chase Hyatt Card. But for whatever reason, they selected us for the upgrade. Sweet!
We made our way up to our room and were blown away. The room contained a giant sitting area with a desk, couch, multiple chairs, and a dining table with 6 chairs although for some reason we didn't get a picture that did the room justice.

A sliding door sectioned off the bedroom from the sitting area.

One of the cool parts of the room was that the sitting area contained floor to ceiling windows that looked across at another suite as well as the atrium containing a giant piece of art and hotel's elevators.

The next morning we went for one final stroll around Amsterdam. Even at 7:30AM on a weekday, we couldn't find a place to grab a cup of coffee! Checkout was a breeze and the hotel called a cab to take us to Amsterdam Central Station. 30 minutes later and we were boarding the train for Paris!
