True, nothing beats Mum's!
But after that, I'd have to split my vote evenly between the Amstel Hotel in (obviously ) Amsterdam, and the Al Bustani.

The interior of the Al Bustani is heaven to a womans eye, anything they could colour coordinate they bl**dy well have, all the rooms are done in different styles and the bath towels are the fluffiest anywhere ever. In fact, for years in our house there was a picture on the dinner table of myself reclining by the pool of the Al Bustani, to which, acccording to the kids, Mr40 always referred as "Mum at work"

The Amstel, while a bit more formal in style of decoration, is also a gorgeous place. Rooms all different here as well, lots of funny nooks and crannies, romantic views over the Amstel river and the city of AMS. Service unobtrusive but very smooooooooth, beds sent down from heaven and the best shower bar none. Shower head size of a bucket, and the hot water comes down like a torrential downpour! Feeling is believing!

But yeah, nothing beats Mum's!
