Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam City Hall opened in April 2018 in a location about 15 minutes walk east of Centraal Station. I wrote in January 2018 that I thought it unlikely the reward rate would remain priced at 20,000 points for very long. I booked the hotel in October 2018 at 20K per night for…

While located about three kilometers outside the city tourist center of Amsterdam, the room is comparable to hotels like Marriott Amsterdam and Hilton Amsterdam, which are frequently three times the room rate.

We loved our three nights at Park Plaza Vondelpark Amsterdam. Although this was our first time at the hotel, this is an area of Amsterdam outside the main tourist zone where we have spent quite a bit of time over the years. We are quite familiar with the stores, restaurants and tram stops in the…
