It’s August and we’re still dreaming of summer holidays, whether it’s beachside or in the heart of an amazing city, and this month’s Destination Design takes us to the latter. We find ourselves heading to The Netherlands to check out the Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht, an enchanting hotel right on a canal that is the vision of legendary designer Marcel Wanders.

The 122-room hotel is like a quirky paradise that incorporates plenty of Dutch history and local heritage, full of Wanders’ signature majestic flair and drama. You’ll spot various sources of inspiration, like Dutch Delft blue, the Golden Age, tulips, and the color orange. (Watch Marcel Wanders talk about the hotel and chairs here)
