Holiday Inn - the niu, Fender Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a city shaped by water—and at Holiday Inn - the niu, Fender Amsterdam, it’s part of our story. Named after the harbor’s protective “fender,” our hotel sits right on the waterfront of Cruquiuseiland, blending nautical charm with modern city style.

A quiet retreat in the Eastern Docklands, our Amsterdam hotel sits just 4 km from the city center and 23 km from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. Enjoy easy access to top attractions like our memorable museums. Explore history, science, and art at the Anne Frank House, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, NEMO Science Museum, and Tropenmuseum. Visit the nearby Artis Royal Zoo, one of Europe’s oldest zoos, stroll through Dappermarkt or explore the Island of Marken.

Embrace comfort in our uniquely designed guest rooms, some with stunning harbor views. From the on‑site parking garage to convenient bike rentals, exploring Amsterdam couldn’t be easier. Settle into our lobby’s co‑working spaces, gather at the big communal table, or plug in at one of the many charging points. Savor your first meal of the day in our breakfast area, where kids under 12 eat free. Find cocktails at our Lounge & Bar or pick up snacks at our 24‑hour Grab & Go shop. Whether you’re here to sightsee, enjoy seasonal events, or just enjoy the peaceful harbor views, our Amsterdam hotel makes an ideal home base.
