Bistrotel 't Amsterdammertje
Rustic-contemporary Dutch riverside inn. Wooden floors, beamed ceilings, king-size beds. Relaxed but the food is a genuine reason to visit.
Book the Vecht-view room if available — the courtyard rooms are nice but the river view is the main event
Why It Matters
Owned and run by Michelin-starred chef André Gerrits. The bistro is in the Michelin Guide, the hotel has just 11 rooms (each identified by a painting rather than a number), and guests can book culinary packages tying in dinner at Gerrits's starred restaurant 5 minutes away. Recognized by Tablet Hotels.
Bistrotel 't Amsterdammertje is a Michelin-recommended 11-room boutique hotel on the banks of the Vecht river in Nieuwersluis, owned by chef André Gerrits — the same man behind the Michelin-starred restaurant 't Amsterdammertje just five minutes away in Loenen aan de Vecht. The concept is simple: a proper bistro downstairs with serious cooking, comfortable rooms upstairs, and a sun-drenched terrace that hangs right over the water. It sits midway between Amsterdam and Utrecht, surrounded by flat Dutch countryside, historic country estates, and two major lake districts within cycling distance.
