+1 for Marriott Amsterdam. Really great location, I could walk anywhere within 20 minutes, and it’s recently renovated.
Ren and W are super close and both central. Both are good rooms, W is in a really cool historic building which gives it the edge for me
Another vote for the W - great, walkable, location
There’s also the Apollo, which is a design hotel part of SPG. Near the canal and walkable to Van Gogh museum. Worth a consider!

I am long distance with my boyfriend and am feeling really unsettled about our relationship. We’ve been together 9 months, and long distance for 4/ 9. I love him and am lonely while distanced, but super happy with our relationship. I’m unsettled about the future and if we will be happy together in the future. I do not want to move to where he is located and he does not want to move here. He definitely wants kids, and I’m younger and more unsure. He’s a suburbs guy, and I want lavish city life.

W. Middle of everything. Great rooftop restaurant. Rooms are typical Of Ws.
Renaissance is close to Amsterdam Centraal station and has a pretty good concierge lounge (breakfast/tea/dinner/free drinks) but the rooms are nothing special for the number of points.
I’ve also stayed at the Marriott Amsterdam. Was maybe a 10 minute walk to the center of the city and the accommodations were great
