Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam - Arena Towers is a modern 3-star hotel in Amsterdam Zuidoost, the capital's business and entertainment district in the south-east of the city, and a straightforward, well-connected base for group programmes and staff accommodation.
Spread across eleven floors, the hotel offers 323 contemporary rooms with either a double bed or two singles, each with a private bathroom and walk-in shower, international television channels, complimentary coffee and tea facilities and free WiFi, and four of the rooms are accessible.
It sits directly next door to the four-star Holiday Inn Amsterdam - Arena Towers, its sister hotel in the same Arena Towers complex; the two share a single main entrance and a combined inventory of 443 rooms, so larger groups can be accommodated across both hotels within one building.
The included Express Start continental breakfast is served in the Great Room, the ground-floor Starbucks To-Go bar takes care of the morning coffee and the WunderMart shop covers essentials around the clock, while the Open Lobby restaurant and bar provide relaxed all-day dining.
Guests can keep to their routine in the 24-hour fitness centre, rent a bicycle to explore the city, and use the on-site parking with EV charging, and as a Green Key-certified, single-use-plastic-free hotel it keeps a clear focus on sustainability.
The Johan Cruijff ArenA, Ziggo Dome and AFAS Live are all within walking distance, Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA train and metro station is about a seven-minute walk with the city centre roughly fifteen minutes away by metro, and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is approximately 19 kilometres away, making the hotel an efficient choice for internationally arriving groups.
Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam - Arena Towers is primarily a large room-block hotel, but it also gives organisers direct access to the extensive Arena Towers meeting and event space, marketed as the largest IHG meeting space in Amsterdam.
The hotel has its own meeting room for smaller working sessions, and it sits within the same complex as the adjoining four-star Holiday Inn Amsterdam - Arena Towers next door, whose ten multifunctional rooms of around 1,000 square metres, all with natural daylight, handle everything from boardroom meetings to conferences of up to 400 delegates.
That combination is the hotel's real strength for events: a programme can draw on the full Arena Towers meeting capacity while using the Express's 323 rooms, alongside the neighbouring Holiday Inn, for accommodation, giving a single-building total of 443 rooms.
As a Green Key-certified hotel it supports sustainable, eco-friendly events through reduced waste and sustainable menu options, so a programme can be both practical and responsible.
Set beside the Johan Cruijff ArenA, Ziggo Dome and AFAS Live and approximately 19 kilometres from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport with a direct train link, the hotel is a well-connected base for larger group stays and the meetings that go with them.
