”I love Amsterdam, and coming through that beloved city on a tour to play shows or for personal time, is always a treat. My favorite place to feel held, inspired and nourished is at The Dylan. It is the perfect balance of beauty and class, and the best place to land and enjoy everything inside and outhside the walls of the hotel. I am grateful to call it home when I am there, and always look forward to coming back” – Ry X
At The Dylan, we try to tickle all senses of our guests. By taste, by serving the highest quality products and creative cocktails pairings. By scent, by welcoming our guests with our own ‘’The Dylan Scent’’. By touch, through using a great diversity of materials in our interior design. And one we should not underestimate, by sound…
Music is of great influence of your state of mind, and a multi-sensory experience should include music that resonates, very much like a symphony. It’s in this symphony where we find the striking parallels between The Dylan as a luxury boutique hotel, and the music of the Australian artist Ry X.
Ry X, born Ry Cuming in Australia, is a singer-songwriter whose music blends indie-folk and ambient electronica, creating hauntingly beautiful soundscapes. His journey began with a passion for surfing and music in the small coastal town of Angourie. Inspired by the raw beauty of nature, Ry developed a minimalist style that focuses on emotional resonance and lyrical depth. His breakout came with the release of “Berlin,” a track that gained global attention for its poignant simplicity and heartfelt delivery. Since then, Ry has continued to captivate audiences worldwide with his ethereal vocals and intimate performances.
His music, with its gentle melodies and ethereal vocals, echoes the very essence of The Dylan – a place of quiet luxury, whispering tales of history while embracing modernity. Just as Ry X’s songs blend indie-folk and ambient electronica, The Dylan we weaves the period charm of the building, appreciating the authentic Dutch architecture from the 18th century, together with modern day interior design, creating an atmosphere that’s both inviting and comforting. Ry X’s minimalist yet richly textured sound mirrors The Dylan’s understated luxury.
At The Dylan, we have a selected playlist that are played in our guestsrooms, which are suitable for each time of day, whether day or night. Ry’s song ‘Salt’ is featured in this classic list. In our extended playlist, multiple songs of Ry X are featured, as they are truly timeless.
Imagine yourself in The Dylan’s intimate spaces, perhaps enjoying a signature cocktail by the fire, as Ry X’s melodies float through the air. It’s more than a stay; it’s an experience that stays with you, long after you’ve left.
