Once you reach Amsterdam, get a car and drive 15 minutes away to the village of Ouderkerk aan der Amstel to stay at the Lute Suites in Style. Designer Marcel Wanders has turned seven historic buildings dating back from 1740 into luxurious and elegant suites. Each suite is uniquely decorated with Italian furniture and lamps, contemporary Dutch accessories and interesting wallpapers designed by Wanders himself. Truly, a place for design addicts.

Lute Suites is in Amsteldijk Zuid 54-58, Ouderkerk (+20 4722462).

Whichever direction you may decide to take, I assure you, Europe won't disappoint.
