#snow #amsterdam #winter snow in amsterdam, things to do winter in amsterdam

First of all: thank you for being here to close out 2025 <3.
2025, you were everything I hoped you would be and more. So many new memories.
I don't yet know what 2026 will bring, but last year was one for the books. Highlights included trips to China, Mexico City, Egypt, and exploring the English countryside.
Entrepreneurs probably recognize that 2025 was not an easy year.
When I started Your Little Black Book, I had one dream: not to work to stay somewhere for free in exchange for content and the pressure of a "picture perfect" experience. But to use my revenue models to book and experience those special places myself, as a guest instead of an influencer, and to give you honest tips.
After almost 15 years of entrepreneurship, I'm so happy with the balance between editorial and commercial work and that I can also say no to things that don't feel right.
At the same time, it's still special that destinations, airlines, and hotels hire me to create a customized Little Black Book for them. I have complete freedom with these campaigns, and I believe in the value of these content-based tips that truly suit your taste. And they come from me personally, not from a machine.
So thank you for your support when you see #yourlbbcollab, #pressstrip or #prinvited ;-).
This will always be my dream job, the one I created almost 15 years ago. I still do as much as possible myself. That's energizing—from both successes and failures.
Luckily, I have a small team that helps with certain sections, and this year we're going through all the tips critically. What's still truly fun, and what's not?
As a leisure expert and queen of curation, I'm so excited to take yourlittleblackbook.me to the next level. Even though being an online entrepreneur requires constant attention and doesn't always come naturally, I wouldn't want anything else.
My mission remains: making your life easier.
So you don't have to search, but can simply choose well.
So glad you were here this year. Without you, there would be no Your Little Black Book 🖤
See you in 2026!
With love,
@anne_de_buck

I have always been part of the family and have always been proud of my work. I have a nice garden in my garden 🗝️👀
Mark your calendars! Because on January 17th and 18th, Hotel Night returns to Amsterdam with a year-round event packed with health and wellness events, and of course, legendary parties you'll be talking about all year long.
I got a sneak peek at The Art of Balance theme at the luxurious Anantara Krasnapolsky and arranged a similarly special experience for you as a YLBB follower.
And in my opinion:
• overnight stay for 2 people in a luxury room on January 17, 2026
• access to the spa & wellness (subject to availability via the wellness desk)
• pre-dinner cocktail at Bar The Tailor
• fully catered dinner from the chef
• passe-partouts for the Hotel Night parties
• extensive breakfast in the Winter Garden
• participation in unique Ice Experience in Krasnapolsky Summergarden
And in Flanders:
• let us know who you would like to check in with at Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky during the Mastercard Hotel Night
• download the Mastercard Hotel Night app where you can see the complete program
• and take a look at @hotelnacht and @anantarakrasnapolsky for the latest updates and to get the fun started!
The winner will be notified on January 5th in a comment from @hotelnacht that I will share in my stories.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Love,
Anne

It's crazy to think that the year is almost over, but I'm really looking forward to 2026 and everything that's to come.
I hope you had some nice days too 🖤.

Apart from all the natural beauty, there are also beautiful hotels to be found in the Ardennes, such as Hotel Sanglier in Durbuy. The perfect blend of old and new. From the outside, you wouldn't expect this old inn to have such a modern, Scandinavian design. The hotel is mysterious, romantic, and overlooks a medieval castle. Some rooms even have river views. The hotel boasts not one, but two restaurants, including its own tapas restaurant. There's also a wellness center where you can enjoy treatments, the sauna, or the hammam (for a fee).

Anything that has the word petite in front of it usually has a lot of beauty in store. Petit-Bomal Farm Suites in Durbuy. A cozy spot and one of the best hotels in the ArdennesThis old chateau-style building is surrounded by a beautiful garden and enjoys a peaceful setting. The rooms feature beautiful wooden details and authentic barn doors. It's a tranquil location, with fine products and a pleasant atmosphere. For that extra touch of romance and tranquility, you can opt for a suite with a private hot tub. A bit too much? You can also simply use the hotel's hot tub and sauna.
Rue de Liège, Durbuy, Belgium

Petit-Bomal Farm Suites © Booking.com
Also B&B La ferme du doux It's one of the best hotels in the Ardennes, not only because it's adults-only, but also because of its cozy yet spacious feel. The building's exterior is completely covered in ivy, creating a pleasant green setting. This bed and breakfast is located seven kilometers from Libramont, where you can visit the Celt Museum, among other things. You can rent bikes for free at the B&B, so a nice bike ride on a beautiful day is a great idea. Enjoy the country life while having breakfast in the garden or pamper yourself with an evening soak in your own private bath. Of course, you can do both!
