“The Intercontinental Amstel Amsterdam impresses with its blend of historical charm and modern luxury, particularly its canal-side setting that few hotels can rival. I especially appreciate the personalized concierge services, along with unique offerings such as exclusive canal boat rides and high tea experiences that highlight local culinary traditions. While service appears inconsistent, the riverside views and elegant rooms certainly stand out.”
