Beautiful Hotwl on the Amstel River
Pros:

Gorgeous hotel on the canal. Staff was excellent all around Incredibly warm, helpful and knowledgeable. The spa and pool was also fantastic.

Cons:

The rooms are older and bathrooms need to be updated. Would suggest offering a classic European buffet breakfast instead of just a la carte

Great!
Pros:

The high tea was delicious. Everything is freshly made, you can taste it, and you get more than enough. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and professional. It all felt very personal. The decor is also very tasteful. All in all, a wonderful experience, even if it was only our third time.

Spectacular Lobby & Exceptional Service
Pros:

Our stay at the InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam was truly memorable. The hotel’s lobbies are spectacular, beautifully designed, and immediately set a luxurious tone. Check-in was seamless, accompanied by a glass of champagne and freshly baked cookies — a lovely personal touch. The staff showed genuine interest, asking thoughtful questions and ensuring our comfort throughout.

The room itself was not quite as impressive as the lobby, but still very comfortable and impeccably maintained. Breakfast offered an exceptional selection, with every dish beautifully presented. Overall, the service was of an extremely high standard, with attentive and personable staff making the experience truly outstanding. Highly recommended for those seeking elegance, attention to detail, and excellent hospitality in Amsterdam.
