Stepping through the doors of the five star Intercontinental Hotel in Amsterdam, it is quickly apparent this is not like any other Intercontinental. Set in an historic former palace in one of the most delightful cities in Europe, the unique décor and attention to detail in each of the 79 rooms makes this one of the top luxury hotels in Amsterdam.
Each room is equipped with a room safe, internet access and even air-conditioning, which is rarely required in this climate. Traditional antique furnishings contrast with satellite TV and DVD players. Finishing touches are the vases of tulips to welcome guests. Traditional blue Delft pottery and richly colored rugs add an authentic atmosphere to this grand dame of luxury hotels. Marble bathrooms with rains showerheads complete the amenities. Suites offer ample living space behind closed doors with comfortable sitting areas overlooking the river. Business guests have a fully equipped Business Center, secretarial services and a fully enlightened technical concierge. There is an extensive health and fitness centre with an indoor swimming pool, sauna, hammam and whirlpool spa in a beautiful Roman spa-like setting.
The Amstel Intercontinental is a deserving recipient of the Conde Naste Traveller Gold List award for 2007 and 2008. It also has a Michelin star accredited restaurant ‘La Rive’ which serves international gourmet cuisine in a delightful setting. Under Chef Roger Rassin and sommelier Ted Bunnik, this exquisite restaurant was voted Best Hotel in Amsterdam 2009 by the Lekker Restaurant Guide.

The Amstel Lounge serves a steady supply of afternoon tea or cocktails whilst the Bar and Brasserie offers informal dining with the same top-notch service overlooking the riverboats.
