Embrace your inner noble on the banks of Amsterdam’s ancient canals. The Mayer Manor, built from the remains of a fifteenth-century convent, is now a three-storey Art Deco mansion with a spellbinding one-bedroom apartment spanning the top two levels.
Throw open the fairytale oak doors to a city haven furnished in moody tones and earthy textures. If you can bring yourself to leave the opulent setting, explore the nearby shops, galleries and cafes. Return for an evening soak in the oversized copper bath in your bedroom while the fireplace crackles and light from elegant candelabras flickers across your skin. Once you’re squeaky clean, climb the wooden staircase onto your rooftop, or trail the haunting melody from a distant piano playing in the private club downstairs.
AU$600 a night.
