Green Engage: sustainable luxury
While you enjoy ultimate luxury, we are committed to sustainability every day. InterContinental Hotels & Resorts has implemented an innovative online system – Green Engage® – that allows us to reduce our carbon footprint and environmental impact. From selecting suitable construction sites to energy-efficient lighting. Our initiatives have helped our hotels and resorts reduce their energy consumption by up to 25%. We also keep a close eye on consumption at the Amstel Hotel and we improve this wherever possible.

be involved
You can help us protect the environment. Hotels around the world wash towels daily, often unnecessary. This not only wastes a significant amount of water but also pollutes our rivers and seas with detergents. We kindly ask you to hang your towels, should you wish to use them again. In this way, we contribute to a better environment together.

After the aperitif, we would like to welcome you for dinner in the Amstel Restaurant, where we will, of course, look for the best spot near the water, both indoors and outdoors. The renewed menu combines high quality with casual comfort. With special attention to local products, we work as much as possible with local suppliers.
