Kimpton De Witt Amsterdam
Kimpton De Witt Amsterdam occupies a row of seventeen interconnected canal houses on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, a two-minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal. The hotel blends original Dutch architectural details (a preserved 17th-century wijnkoperij cellar, exposed beams, and a small interior garden) with the playful design language Kimpton is known for: bold prints, oversized headboards, and a lobby that doubles as a social space rather than a quiet marble hall. It draws a mixed crowd of design-minded leisure travelers, wellness-focused weekenders using the on-site Health Club, and creative-industry guests in town for meetings around Houthavens or the Zuidas. The Centrum location means most guests arrive by train from Schiphol on day one, then need a calmer, door-to-door ride out on the way home, often with luggage from Negen Straatjes shopping or a final stop at the Bloemenmarkt. That return trip to Schiphol is 19 km and roughly 26 minutes outside peak hours, threading west through the Jordaan onto the S106 and then the A4. A private AmstelCab transfer suits the hotel's character: a suited chauffeur greets you under the entrance canopy, takes the bags, and skips the queue at the Centraal Station taxi rank, which can stretch past forty minutes on Sunday afternoons. Water, phone chargers, and a quiet Business-class cabin make the final stretch of an Amsterdam trip feel deliberate rather than rushed.
Your AmstelCab chauffeur will meet you directly under the entrance canopy at Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 5, where the Kimpton doorman manages the short loading zone. If you prefer to wait inside, the lobby lounge by the fireplace is a comfortable spot and the concierge can flag your driver as he approaches. For early-morning departures before the doorman is on duty, please come down to the main entrance at the scheduled time. Your chauffeur will text 10 minutes before arrival and confirm pickup point.

The neighborhood around the hotel
Kimpton De Witt sits at the northern edge of Centrum, where Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal meets the open plaza in front of Amsterdam Centraal. It is a working corner of the old city: tram lines 2, 11, 12, 13, and 17 run past the front door, cyclists stream toward the IJ tunnel, and the Singel canal begins one block west. Guests pick this stretch for the immediate access to the station, the short walk to Dam Square, and the calmer, less touristy feel compared to the Red Light District two canals east. For airport transfers, the practical issue is the street itself. Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal is two-way with tram tracks down the middle and strict no-stopping rules, so pickup timing matters. From the hotel, drivers head west via Spuistraat and Marnixstraat to the S106, picking up the A10 ring and then the A4 to Schiphol, the cleanest route at almost any hour.
Frequently asked questions
Does Kimpton De Witt Amsterdam have a dedicated taxi drop-off area near the entrance?
Kimpton De Witt Amsterdam sits on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, a busy two-way street with tram tracks and limited curb space. The doorman manages a short loading zone directly in front of the main entrance where AmstelCab can pause for luggage. During peak hours your chauffeur may circle once if the spot is taken, then signal the bellhop on the second pass so the handover stays under two minutes.
How early should I leave Kimpton De Witt Amsterdam for an international Schiphol flight?
For a long-haul departure from Schiphol, plan to leave Kimpton De Witt Amsterdam roughly three hours before your scheduled flight. The drive itself is 19 km and around 26 minutes outside rush hour, but morning traffic on the S106 and A10 West can add 15 to 25 minutes between 07:00 and 09:30. For Schengen flights, two and a half hours is usually comfortable.
Can my AmstelCab driver wait inside the Kimpton De Witt lobby if I am running late?
Yes. The lobby on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 5 is open to visitors and the concierge is happy to let your chauffeur wait by the lounge area near the fireplace. Every AmstelCab booking includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait time from the scheduled pickup, so a delayed breakfast at Wyers or a slow elevator will not cost you anything extra.
How does the meet & greet work for arrivals?
Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall at Schiphol with a sign showing your name. There's 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time from the moment you land. If you add your flight number we track delays automatically, so there is no need to message.
What is your cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 1 hour before pickup. Inside that window, we charge the full fare since the chauffeur is already en route. You can move the booking to a different time for free.
