"A grande dame hotel set spectacularly on the banks of the Amstel River, the Intercontinental Amstel offers a glamorous stay drenched in Old World elegance."

A grand dame since its opening in 1867, the Intercontinental Amstel Amsterdam is the epitome of a palace hotel. Set on the banks of the Amstel River, the iconic building is a landmark unto itself, its Golden Age glory instantly recognisable, even from a distance. Its setting, needless to say, is gorgeous as can be, but the location has more going for it than just the scenery; museums, markets and the city’s fabulous opera house are all within strolling distance. For everything else, water taxis are readily available to whisk you away to the destination of your choosing.

If the hotel's grand façade is glamorous, its interiors are even more so. No expense is spared in the pursuit of Dutch elegance, and the Old World feel is achieved spectacularly without ever feeling overdone. Rooms are wonderfully old school, done up in French style with all the grandeur of another time. The hotel claims to have the “largest smallest rooms in Amsterdam”, and they are indeed spacious, even at entry...   Show more

If the hotel's grand façade is glamorous, its interiors are even more so. No expense is spared in the pursuit of Dutch elegance, and the Old World feel is achieved spectacularly without ever feeling overdone. Rooms are wonderfully old school, done up in French style with all the grandeur of another time. The hotel claims to have the “largest smallest rooms in Amsterdam”, and they are indeed spacious, even at entry level. All accommodations are lovely, done up with delicate wallpaper, classic furniture and art from a bygone era adorning the walls. Your room will overlook either the courtyard or the Amstel River; for the most quintessential experience, we recommend choosing a room with the latter.

The buffet breakfast laid out each morning is a lavish affair that perfectly suits the opulence of the hotel. For the day’s later meals at Amstel Restaurant, you can opt to sit indoors or out; if the weather's nice, eat on the terrace just a breath away from the waters of the canal. The restaurant’s menu is decidedly international, albeit with a delightful dose of Dutch flair (the seafood dishes are particularly good). Also, just a stone's throw from the water is the terrace of the Amstel Bar, which serves fabulous cocktails alongside an impressive wine list. And then there’s the marvellous Afternoon Tea, held memorably in the lounge. Tea time is particularly special on weekends when guests are welcomed into the hotel’s awe-inspiring mirror room.

Speaking of gorgeous rooms, you can go for a swim in another one. Located in the Health and Fitness Club is one of the largest hotel pools in Amsterdam; the pretty space is flooded with light from large windows that reveal gorgeous views to take in between laps. Venture to the other side of the hotel to indulge in a blowout or manicure before heading out to explore all that Amsterdam has to offer. Nanny services, dietician services, secretarial services and a doctor on call are all available upon request.
