The InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam was chosen as Netherlands’ Leading Business Hotel during the World Travel Awards 2009 ceremony, which took place in Obidos, Portugal, in October. This year’s poll was the highest in the World Travel Awards’ 16-year history, with more than 170,000 industry professionals casting their votes for what they consider to be the very best travel, tourism and hospitality products and services in Europe.
Established in 1993, the World Travel Awards recognize, reward and celebrate excellence in all sectors of the global travel industry. Over the years they have become among the most prestigious awards in the travel industry, referred to by the Wall Street Journal as the travel-industry’s equivalent of the Oscars.
InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam has been celebrated as the Netherlands’ most prestigious hotel since it opened its doors in 1867. The hotel has 79 guest rooms and suites, six banqueting rooms and two restaurants – including Michelin-star restaurant La Rive – as well as a fully equipped Health & Fitness Club.
