See pricing & book →About Apollo Hotel Amsterdam, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel
Apollo Hotel Amsterdam, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel stands at the quiet end of Apollolaan, where five canals converge in the leafy Oud-Zuid district. Originally opened in 1962 and reborn under Marriott's Tribute Portfolio after a full renovation, the property has long been a fixture for Zuidas business travelers, Concertgebouw soloists, and loyalty-program regulars who prefer a calmer setting than the Centrum. The building wraps around the Noorder Amstelkanaal, and the canalside terrace at Sofies Brasserie is one of the few in the city where you can dock a small boat before dinner. Most rooms look out onto the water or the broad lime-tree avenue of Apollolaan itself, a few minutes' walk from the Hilton corner and the green expanse of Beatrixpark. Guests here tend to fly in for a board meeting at Zuidas, a concert season at the Concertgebouw, or a weekend split between the Museumplein galleries and the canal belt. The hotel's location makes the airport run unusually efficient: Schiphol sits 15 km south-west, roughly 22 minutes by car via the A10 and A4 outside peak hours. That short, predictable transfer is exactly where a premium private driver earns its keep, with a suited chauffeur meeting you under the porte-cochere, water and chargers in the cabin, and a 60-minute wait window built into every booking.

What's included in every transfer

For arrivals at Schiphol: add your flight number when booking and we'll track your landing automatically — your chauffeur is in the arrivals hall with a name sign, ready for you. US-bound carriers (Delta, United, American) often face long passport-control queues; we recommend adding 40 minutes buffer time so your chauffeur waits exactly when you exit.
Pickup point at Apollo Hotel Amsterdam, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel
Your AmstelCab driver will pull up at the main entrance on Apollolaan 2, directly under the glass canopy where the doorman and bellhop stand are positioned. There is space for two cars at the curb, so even during busy checkout hours the driver can load luggage without blocking traffic. If you prefer, the chauffeur can meet you inside the lobby by the concierge desk rather than at the curb. Your chauffeur will text 10 minutes before arrival and confirm pickup point.
Apollolaan / Oud-Zuid — the neighborhood around the hotel
Apollolaan / Oud-Zuid is the wide, residential southern edge of the Museum Quarter, laid out in the early 20th century by H.P. Berlage as part of the Plan Zuid. The street itself is a tree-lined boulevard with Amsterdam School architecture, embassies, and quiet bicycle lanes; tram 24 runs along nearby Beethovenstraat into the centre. Unlike the canal belt, Apollolaan was built with cars in mind, so there are no narrow humpback bridges or one-way canal puzzles to navigate. The entrance to ring road A10 at Amstelveenseweg sits less than two kilometres away, which feeds directly onto the A4 to Schiphol. For early-morning departures this matters: drivers avoid the Centrum entirely and reach the airport ramp in under twenty minutes when traffic is light.

Frequently asked questions about Apollo Hotel Amsterdam, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel transfers
Does Apollo Hotel Amsterdam, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel have a dedicated taxi drop-off zone for departures?
Yes. Apollo Hotel Amsterdam, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel sits at the corner where Apollolaan meets the Noorder Amstelkanaal, with a wide forecourt directly in front of the main entrance on Apollolaan 2. The bellhop stand and luggage trolleys are positioned right at the curb, so your AmstelCab driver can pull up curbside, load suitcases under the canopy, and depart toward the A10 without circling the block.
Can my AmstelCab driver wait inside the lobby if my meeting in Zuidas runs late?
Absolutely. The chauffeur is welcome to wait in the lobby near the concierge desk or in the lounge bar overlooking the canal. Your booking includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait time from the scheduled pickup, and the driver will message you discreetly when waiting. If you are in a Zuidas meeting and running over, just send a quick update so the route to Schiphol can be adjusted around evening traffic on the A10-Zuid.

For intercontinental departures from Schiphol, leaving Apollo Hotel Amsterdam 3.5 hours before takeoff is comfortable.
