Country Dreamy Destination: The Dylan Amsterdam

This week's blog posts will feature destinations around the world that are either in the countryside or have that feel to them.

We're starting in the Netherlands, with The Dylan Amsterdam. It's located in - you guessed it - Amsterdam. The Dylan is tucked right in the city's center along the Keizersgracht canal. While the location is urban, the boutique hotel feels very provincial.

With 49 rooms, the Dylan is a good size for a group. While the suites allow more privacy and would be great for those looking to Honeymoon in the Netherlands, it's probably better suited for a destination wedding.

Dreamy December Destination Wedding Inspiration

In honor of our favorite month, we've decided to spend every day posting a destination we're obsessed with. We're addicted to the Travel and Leisure guide to hot new places and can't get enough travel books in our office, so figured we'd share some of the cool places we've discovered in the past year with all of you. Starting on Monday, December 5th, we'll be posting a new dreamy destination every weekday through the end of the year. Some of the destinations will be pretty venues, some mountainous hotels, some desert based vacation spots and great ideas for honeymoons. We hope you enjoy this little labor of love project and we'd love to hear your feedback as you read about each location.

Happy Holidays from the team!
