On Amsterdam’s Dam Square, TwentySeven Hotel occupies the upper floors of a historic building opposite the Royal Palace. Its suites are deliberately opulent, combining richly patterned fabrics, carved timber, velvet, chandeliers and bespoke furnishings with views over the square and surrounding rooftops. Butler service accompanies the residential scale of the accommodation, while Restaurant Bougainville and the cocktail bar bring an equally elaborate approach to dining and drinks. Behind the discreet entrance, dramatic staircases, artwork and layered interiors create a marked contrast with the busy civic space outside.
