Okura Hotel Amsterdam

Evan and I traveled to Amsterdam, Netherlands November 4-9. We had a smooth flight and the trip went very well (as well as a 10 hour trip can go!) When we arrived at the Hotel Okura, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that the hotel was overbooked. This meant a free upgrade to an Executive Suite!

Large vanity - all of my things fit - where could Evan put his, though?

Amazing toilet in our hotel room. I loved the heated seat. Also had rear and front cleansing options as well as a dryer! Leave it to the Europeans to think of it all!
