The Dylan is the dinner splurge. MICHELIN gives the hotel One Key and Restaurant Vinkeles two MICHELIN stars, in a house of 41 rooms on the Keizersgracht.
It's a small house on a canal, and it's strict on one point: no pets, per MICHELIN's listing.
Forbes lists it as Recommended, not with stars. Check-in is 2 pm, an hour earlier than most of the grand hotels here, which helps on a fly-in day.
Book it for dinner at Vinkeles and an early check-in. PTA is about 2.5 road miles away by our routing, so book the taxi for the morning.

- Dinner at Vinkeles is the plan
- You want a small hotel on a canal
- You land early — check-in is 2 pm
Look elsewhere if
- Your pet travels with you.
- You want a pool.
- You need parking priced.
