See pricing & book →About NH Collection Amsterdam Barbizon Palace
NH Collection Amsterdam Barbizon Palace occupies a row of 17th-century merchant houses on Prins Hendrikkade, directly opposite Centraal Station and a short walk from the Damrak. The hotel stitches together fifteen monumental gabled buildings, with original beams and a deconsecrated 15th-century chapel, the St. Olofskapel, still used today as a meeting and event space. The 274 rooms range from contemporary deluxe rooms to suites overlooking the IJ waterfront, and the property holds a five-star rating under NH's flagship Collection brand. Guests here are typically a mix of business travelers in Amsterdam for meetings in the Zuidas financial district or at the RAI convention centre, and leisure visitors who want to start their canal-belt explorations from a Centrum (Centraal Station) base. The location is unusually convenient: trains, trams, and the Noord-Zuidlijn metro all arrive within 200 metres, and the Red Light District, Nieuwmarkt, and Chinatown begin one block behind the hotel. For the airport run, Schiphol sits 19 km southwest, a 26-minute drive via the IJtunnel and A10 outside rush hour. While the train is fast, guests with multiple suitcases, early-morning departures, or onward intercontinental connections usually prefer a private chauffeur from the porte-cochere directly to their departures terminal. AmstelCab's Business, First, and Van classes all include meet and greet, 60 minutes of wait time, bottled water, USB-C and Lightning chargers, and a suited driver who handles luggage and stays in contact via SMS.

What's included in every transfer
No upgrades, no upsells. All of this comes with every Business, First Class and Van booking.
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 NH Collection Amsterdam Barbizon Palace
Your AmstelCab chauffeur meets you under the porte-cochere at the main entrance of the Barbizon Palace on Prins Hendrikkade 59-72, where the doormen are stationed. On arrival the driver will check in with the concierge desk and wait by the lobby's revolving doors holding a sign with your name. Because the Prins Hendrikkade taxi bay is short, the car will pull in only once you are ready with luggage. Your chauffeur will text 10 minutes before arrival and confirm pickup point.
Centrum (Centraal Station) — the neighborhood around the hotel
Centrum around Centraal Station is the busiest crossroads in Amsterdam, where Prins Hendrikkade curves along the IJ harbour between the station and the Scheepvaartmuseum. The Barbizon Palace sits in the stretch closest to Damrak, with the Oude Kerk, Nieuwmarkt, and the start of the Red Light District all reachable on foot in under ten minutes. Trams 4, 14, and 24 stop at Centraal Station Centrumzijde, two minutes from the lobby. For an airport run, the practical issue is direction of travel. Prins Hendrikkade is one-way westbound at this segment, so drivers heading to Schiphol either loop via the IJtunnel to the A10 Zuid or cut through Martelaarsgracht toward the S100 ring. AmstelCab chauffeurs default to the IJtunnel route, which avoids the tram-dense Damrak corridor and adds only a minute or two compared with cutting through the city centre.

Frequently asked questions about NH Collection Amsterdam Barbizon Palace transfers
Does NH Collection Amsterdam Barbizon Palace have a dedicated taxi drop-off zone?
Yes. The Barbizon Palace's main entrance sits directly on Prins Hendrikkade, where there is a designated taxi and limousine pull-in just outside the lobby doors. Because Prins Hendrikkade is a busy through-road opposite Centraal Station, your AmstelCab chauffeur will pull into the marked bay, handle luggage with the doorman, and depart promptly to keep the lane clear for other arrivals.
How early should I leave the Barbizon Palace for an international Schiphol flight?
For non-Schengen and intercontinental departures we recommend leaving the Barbizon Palace 3 hours and 15 minutes before take-off. The drive itself is 26 minutes via the IJtunnel and A10, but Prins Hendrikkade traffic around Centraal Station can add 10-15 minutes at peak times. For Schengen flights, 2 hours and 30 minutes before departure is comfortable with a Business-class transfer.
Can my AmstelCab driver wait if I'm finishing breakfast at the Hudson's Terrace?
Absolutely. Every AmstelCab airport transfer from the Barbizon Palace includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait time from the booked pickup. If you're still at Hudson's Terrace or the Vermeer dining room, message your chauffeur through the booking link. They will park nearby on Zeedijk or in the Bijenkorf garage and return to the porte-cochere when you're ready to load luggage.
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 — 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.
Which vehicle types are available?
Business Class (Mercedes EQE, E-Class, BMW i5, 5-Series), First Class (Mercedes EQS, S-Class, BMW i7), and Van Class (Mercedes V-Class, EQV). Maybach is available by WhatsApp request.
