A Classic Grand Hotel
Pros:

The Intercontinental Amstel is a true classic with a beautiful, detailed lobby and staircase. Most of the public spaces are very nice except we didn’t feel the bar was very inviting. The grandeur of hotel didn’t seem to flow into our room as the furniture seemed tired, the carpet was lumpy and the bathroom had one sink and was a little dark. It’s an old classic hotel so this could be overlooked.

Fortunately, we had a river view which made all the difference, and you definitely want to request that.

The food was modest except for the yummy warm sourdough bread with lots of butter.

We’re glad we stayed here because we like to try the classic hotels in the major cities we visit.

A nice stay.

True European luxury and outstanding service
Pros:

Outstanding European style hotel with old world charm and spectacular canal views. Center of Amsterdam is a short walk or tram ride away, so the immediate hotel area is a bit quiet, but the service and amenities are outstanding. Breakfast was excellent and the wait staff is incredibly attentive. Bartender is also expert in the evening and the outside patio is beautiful.

A Perfect Stay at the InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam
Pros:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect Stay in Amsterdam!

We had an amazing stay at the InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam. The hotel is beautiful, elegant, and maintained to the highest standards. Our room was spacious, spotless, and extremely comfortable.

The service throughout the hotel was exceptional. Every member of the staff was friendly, professional, and genuinely focused on making our stay memorable.

One of the highlights was the breathtaking view of the Amstel River. Waking up each morning to such a beautiful riverside view made the experience even more special.

The breakfast was excellent, with a great variety of high-quality options, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was luxurious yet welcoming.

This is truly one of the finest hotels in Amsterdam, and we would happily return on our next visit. Highly recommended!
