Option A
The Circus Hotel: Grand Apartment
The strongest fit for this group. A two-bedroom, 538-square-foot apartment within a boutique hotel housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century landmark building on Rosenthaler Platz. One queen bed and two twin beds across two bedrooms, plus a full living and dining area and a kitchen. The Circus has real personality: individually designed rooms, a rooftop terrace with an honesty bar, a garden courtyard, and a curated weekly program of local events and tours that makes it feel more like a Berlin insider's clubhouse than a hotel.

H4 Hotel Berlin Alexanderplatz: Junior Suite

Amsterdam
July 13–14 | 1 Night
Two exceptional options, both with AC. Location was a priority and both deliver, though in different ways. The Sofitel sits at the geographic center of Amsterdam, steps from Dam Square and the major museums. The Pulitzer is in the Jordaan on the Prinsengracht, which is classic canal Amsterdam and very walkable, but slightly west of the absolute center. The Sofitel also comes in lower on price and adds Virtuoso perks including breakfast for all four guests and a $100 food and beverage credit.
Option A
Pulitzer Amsterdam
Twenty-five restored 17th-century canal houses knitted together into one of Amsterdam's most iconic hotels. Each room feels completely individual, with dark wood beams, hardwood floors, and marble bathrooms stocked with Le Labo amenities. The courtyard garden is a genuine highlight, and the hotel's private boat takes guests out on the canals. Two Classic rooms for your group: one with twin beds, one with a double, on the Prinsengracht in the heart of the Jordaan.
Location: Prinsengracht 315–331, Jordaan, iconic canal neighborhood, walkable to Anne Frank House, Vondelpark, and the Nine Streets shopping district
Configuration: 1 Classic Twin Room + 1 Classic Double Room (separate rooms, 4 guests)
Air conditioning: Yes, all rooms

Option B
Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam
A 15th-century former royal residence and city hall, now one of Amsterdam's grandest five-star hotels, set around a private courtyard garden steps from the Oudezijds Voorburgwal canal. Two interconnecting rooms give the group the privacy of separate spaces with the convenience of a shared door. Booked through Fora's Virtuoso partnership, this option comes with a guaranteed upgrade at booking, daily full breakfast for all four guests, and a $100 food and beverage credit toward dinner or drinks on-site.
