Boutique hotels and canal houses We are delighted to announce that we are going to start recommending hotels in the Netherlands once again. We've started by listing our favourites in Amsterdam, and with recommendations for the rest of the country to follow. We hope readers will nominate their favourites so that we can gradually build up the numbers again. That is the way the Good Hotel Guide began 33 years ago when Hilary Rubinstein, a literary agent, asked all his friends to nominate their favourite hotel. Please do help us get this exciting project off the ground. The more help and feedback we get from you our readers, the more reliable and comprehensive our selection of Dutch hotels will be.
