It's been scientifically proven that being by water can put us in a mildly meditative state. With this in mind, we've traced some of the world's greatest rivers across cities, deserts and mountains and found some stand-out hotels where you can stay close by. Swim beside remote retreats, fish for your dinner or simply admire sparkling views from the banksides.

Venice, Italy
Probably best known as the venue used for George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin's wedding, this 16th-century palazzo on Venice's Grand Canal is the kind of fairy-tale place where old-master frescoes, a private jetty and peaceful manicured gardens come as standard. Despite the gilded rococo detailing and dripping Murano chandeliers of this grandiose mansion, there's a certain laid-back elegance to Aman Venice. Step out and you're a stone's throw from the Rialto Bridge, and on prime territory for getting lost among the winding canals.
hotel
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Overlooking the IJ River, Sir Adam occupies the first eight floors of the A'DAM Tower, a buzzy 70s skyscraper home to a revolving restaurant, observation deck, rooftop swing (try it) and Madam, Amsterdam's highest nightclub. Music is at the heart of the hotel (guitar manufacturer Gibson is a neighbour), with a library dedicated to great tunes and record players in the 108 design-forward rooms. Stay here and you'll be rubbing shoulders with the city's creative movers and shakers. Work up a sweat in the state-of-the-art gym or borrow a hotel bike to explore the surrounding Noord district before grabbing a burger from The Butcher Social Club and finishing the evening in The Hub with drinks and arcade machines.
