Combine the global network of Amsterdam Schiphol Airport with a first class business hotel and a luxury accommodation in a metropolitan city, then you get the best of three worlds: The Steigenberger Airport Hotel Amsterdam, one of the largest and best MICE locations in the area! The free of charge Shuttle Service will bring you to-and-from Schiphol Airport within 8 minutes. The hotel is located in the non-flying zone and next to the beautiful Amsterdam forest.

The 440 comfortable luxury rooms and suites are decorated with warm colors and are designed to maximize privacy and rest. The 15 flexible and modern meeting rooms, all with natural daylight on the ground floor, offer space for up to 620 persons for a wide range of events. It goes without saying that all meeting rooms are equipped with presentation technology and free WIFI.

It is known as one of the best hotels in the area so I was pretty excited to get the chance to experience. The hotel is located in a very modern building. The lobby is very spacious and gives a great first impression.

Check-in staff made me feel very welcome and was down to earth, not over the top which sometimes is the case at other hotels but still acting very professional. You feel at ease here, which is worth a lot… especially after a long flight!

The room I stayed in was large and of a true 4 star level. The deluxe room was recently renovated and featured a small comfy couch and a large working desk. The modern bathroom was great featuring an oversized (rain) shower which was heavenly! The room was totally up to date and decorated in a very nice way. Another great feature of the rooms: they’re all soundproof assuring you a good nights’ sleep. By the way, did you know the hotel is located in a non flying zone? That is right, I didn’t hear one plane during my stay at the hotel.

Steigenberger Airport Hotel Amsterdam has a full Spa and wellness Center which is a great especially after long flights. The Lifestyle Club & Active Spa is pretty large featuring a great indoor swimming pool which is pretty large for hotel standards. There are also steam showers and saunas which guests can use at no additional charge. The treatment I had was one of the best massages I have had in Amsterdam. The therapist did an amazing job and I felt like walking on clouds throughout the treatment. It was so relaxing… Definitely book a treatment when you are there as you will be pampered and relaxed as never before!

At night I had dinner at Trattoria. This Italian styled restaurant offers excellent dishes in a cozy atmosphere. You could tell that the Chef is Italian. This is not just an ordinary hotel restaurant. The food they serve here is just d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s. Hands down, I can honestly tell you that I had the best raw beef tartar ever! Also, the presentation was top notch! As a main course, the Monkfish which was wrapped in lardo bisque came with gamba, a foam of San Daniele and a cream of shallots. The straw potato and radicchio made a perfect combination. I must also highlight the great and personal service here. Everyone I met and spoke to was very friendly and accommodating! Thumbs up!

Another option to have a good bite and drink is their Sports & Media Bar. This pub is very cozy and the perfect place to relax and have a good chat with your fellow travelers.
I started the next day with an excellent breakfast. The Restaurant Patio is located on the ground floor next to the lobby area. The buffet is large and the quality of the food is outstanding! It will please everyone! Personally, my favorites were the pastries. They even offer some yummy apple pie. You should definitely try it out yourself.

Steigenberger Airport Hotel Amsterdam is an excellent option if you are looking for a hotel near the Airport of Amsterdam. The real advantages of staying here are the gorgeous renovated rooms, the large Spa & Wellness Center with an indoor heated swimming pool and the great hospitality. Do note that they offer a very convenient and efficient complimentary shuttle service to/from the hotel which will take you to the airport in just 10 minutes. The shuttle runs 2 times per hour. So just park your car safely at the hotel and let your holiday start right away! I promise, it will be a great start of your journey! Can’t wait to return!
