Kimpton de Witt – Super Lyan – Bar

Kimpton Witt’s Super Lyan bar offering is exceptional, with creative cocktails so damn good you won’t need to leave the hotel for a big night out. The Super Lyan is the first international offering from Ryan Chetiyawardana (aka Mr Lyan), considered by many to be the best bartender in the world. 

It’s a strikingly modern cocktail bar delivering cocktails, beers and bites late into the night. Pull up a seat at the colourful, neon-lit bar and order classic cocktails with a twist from the knowledgeable bar staff. 

Drinks here come with a thematic backstory, and bar staff will happily regale you with the storied cocktail themes and carefully considered ingredients, shaken to perfection. 

Facilities

Step inside the open, glass-fronted reception, and you’ll find a warm welcome and excellent customer service. Concierge staff are on hand to help you plan your stay, book tickets, and make reservations at local restaurants.

The hotel also features free bike hire and a 24-hour fitness centre with modern cardio and weight training equipment if you suddenly want to work out on your city break.

One of the main draws is the daily hosted evening wine hour, where you can sip wine and mingle with your fellow hotel guests. Unwind in the modern downstairs bar/lobby area while you sip complimentary vino and sample a selection of nibbles.  

What’s nearby?

Conveniently located in Amsterdam‘s historical centre of town on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, in the Palace Quarter, Kimpton DeWitt is a handy base if you want to explore the city on foot.

It lies east of the canal belt and the chic Nine Streets district and is within walking distance of many major city attractions.

One of the main attractions near the hotel is the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, just a 10-minute walk away. This opulent 17th-century palace was initially built as a city hall and later converted into a palace for the Dutch monarchy. Visitors can explore the palace’s rich interior and admire its grand architecture.

The Anne Frank House is also just a 15-minute walk from the hotel. Dedicated to the life and legacy of Anne Frank, this sombre museum documents the struggles of a young Jewish girl who hid from the Nazis during World War II. 

You can tour the hidden annexe where Anne and her family lived and learn about her experiences during the war.

For art lovers, the Van Gogh Museum is just a 20-minute walk from the hotel. The museum features the most extensive collection of Van Gogh’s works worldwide, including famous paintings like “The Sunflowers” and “The Potato Eaters.”

The hotel is also near some of Amsterdam’s most vibrant neighbourhoods, including the Jordaan district. Known for its charming narrow streets filled with lively cafes, boutique shops and art galleries, this is where cool kids hang out. 

Nearby, you’ll also find some of Amsterdam’s best shopping areas, including Kalverstraat – a pedestrian shopping street featuring a range of high-end shops and boutiques, and De Negen Straatjes (The Nine Streets) area – packed with boho shops and cafes. 

How much:

Rooms typically cost around £270 upwards, depending on the date of stay and type of room and are best for visitors with a healthy city break budget rather than backpackers.
