T’ Japans Winkeltje is a haven of carefully curated items pieces with unparalleled Japanese craftsmanship. This wonderful little shop is made for design aficionados and the Japanese-enamoured.

If you’ve been in any major city in the past five or ten years, then you have certainly heard of Soho House. The Amsterdam outpost of this hip, international chain is just as cool & thoughtfully decorated as the rest. The rooms are (relatively) reasonably priced, & there’s a gym, movie theatre & rooftop pool to make your stay all that much more exciting.

Massages. Pedicures. Full Beard Shapes. Cryotherpay. Name a treatment, & you can likely find it at this gorgeous, relaxing spa tucked away inside Soho House. This lovely spa is small, with only six treatment rooms, so be sure to book ahead if you want to get a spot. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, you can book the Relax & Refuel, which includes a massage & a two-course lunch at Cecconis, every Tuesday & Thursday.

German cuisine is given a modern twist in chef Luke de Jong’s latest venture, Weinlokal Stern. Oysters from the Wadden Islands are served before hearty mains of revamped classics and wines are dug out from the German vineyards. Naturally, chilled Schnapps is a strong feature on the menu.
