On the banks of Amsterdam's Amstel River rests the city's most prestigious luxury hotel, the InterContinental Amsterdam Amstel, favored by international superstars, royalty, and perhaps you.

InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam, opened in 1867, features 55 rooms and 24 suites. They feature Dutch period furniture, plush drapes, handcrafted Delft blue pottery, and Italian marble baths, not to mention spectacular city and river views.

Rest and rejuvenate in the health center, which offers fitness equipment, an indoor swimming pool, sauna, Turkish bath, Jacuzzi, and massage. Ask to arrange a boat tour, where you'll glide down the river under traditional canal houses and old bridges, or simply take in the city from your seat on the hotel's grand terrace.

Located in the heart of the city's financial, cultural, and entertainment district, InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam is the perfect base for business or exploring the one of Europe's most fascinating cities: Anne Frank House, the Red Light District, the Royal Palace, and scores of hip restaurants, nightspots, and boutiques are all just a stroll away.
