to Schiphol.
Overhoeksplein 7, 1031 KS Amsterdam · 22 km / 28 min by car
Sir Adam Hotel
Sir Adam Hotel occupies the lower floors of the A'DAM Tower on the north bank of the IJ, directly opposite Amsterdam Centraal Station and a three-minute free ferry ride from the city centre. The building itself is a converted 1971 Shell research tower, and Sir Adam keeps that mid-century engineering bones visible in the lobby, the exposed concrete columns and the floor-to-ceiling glass that wraps every guest room. Rooms come with a Marshall amplifier and a curated vinyl selection, which is a fair signal of who tends to book here: music industry guests in town for ADE or Paradiso shows, design studios attending Dutch Design Week extensions, and leisure travellers who prefer Amsterdam Noord's converted-shipyard energy over the canal belt. The hotel shares the tower with Madam nightclub on the 20th floor, the revolving Moon restaurant, and the open-air Lookout observation deck, so guests rarely need to leave the building for a full Amsterdam night. For the airport run, Sir Adam sits 22 km from Schiphol, a 28-minute drive at off-peak via the IJtunnel, the A10 ring west and the A4. A premium private transfer makes sense here because the tower is on the north side of the water, which complicates ride-share pickups and rules out a tram-plus-train hop with luggage. An AmstelCab Business or Van class chauffeur handles the door-to-gate run with meet and greet at the tower entrance.
Your AmstelCab chauffeur meets you in the Overhoeksplein vehicle loop directly in front of the Sir Adam Hotel and A'DAM Tower main entrance, where the doorman station is. There is space for sedans and V-Class vans to pull up curbside; no canal-street manoeuvring is required. For early-morning departures before the doorman shift begins, the chauffeur will come to the reception desk on the ground floor. Your chauffeur will text 10 minutes before arrival and confirm pickup point.

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.
The neighborhood around the hotel
Amsterdam Noord around Overhoeksplein is the city's former shipbuilding district, now a compact cluster of creative tenants anchored by the A'DAM Tower and the EYE Filmmuseum next door. The square itself is pedestrianised, with the Buiksloterweg ferry pier a 200-metre walk away running free 24/7 crossings to Centraal Station. The advantage for airport transfers is the IJtunnel: from Overhoeksplein a driver reaches the A10 ring road in under seven minutes, avoiding the canal belt's one-way grid and the tram tracks that slow pickups in Centrum and De Pijp entirely. The disadvantage is that taxi drivers unfamiliar with Noord sometimes route via the longer Coentunnel or attempt the narrow Distelweg, both of which add time. AmstelCab chauffeurs use the IJtunnel-A10-west-A4 line as standard for the 22 km run to Schiphol.
Frequently asked questions
Does Sir Adam Hotel have a proper taxi drop-off zone for departures?
Yes. Sir Adam Hotel sits at the base of the A'DAM Tower on Overhoeksplein, a pedestrianised square with a dedicated vehicle loop for arrivals and departures. Your AmstelCab driver pulls up directly in front of the tower entrance, where the doorman assists with luggage. There is no metered street parking to worry about, and the loop is wide enough for our Mercedes V-Class vans.
How early should I leave Sir Adam Hotel for an international flight from Schiphol?
For intercontinental departures, leave Sir Adam Hotel three hours before your flight; for Schengen flights, two and a half hours is comfortable. The drive itself is 22 km and roughly 28 minutes via the IJtunnel and A10 west, but morning rush between 07:00 and 09:30 can add 15-20 minutes. Your chauffeur monitors live traffic and adjusts the pickup time if needed.
Can my AmstelCab driver wait if I'm delayed checking out of Sir Adam Hotel?
Every AmstelCab pickup at Sir Adam Hotel includes 15 minutes of free waiting from the scheduled pickup. If breakfast at Mama Makan runs long or the lifts down from the 20th-floor rooms are busy, your chauffeur waits in the Overhoeksplein loop; beyond the free 15 minutes, waiting is charged per minute at the hourly rate of your class.
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 the full fare is due. Moving the booking to a different time counts as a new booking: free as long as you do it more than 1 hour before the original pickup.
Which vehicle types are available?
Business Class (Mercedes EQE, E-Class, BMW i5, 5-Series), Van Class (Mercedes V-Class, EQV), First Class (Mercedes EQS, S-Class, BMW i7) and Ultra (Mercedes-Maybach S-Class). Ultra has a fixed price between Amsterdam and Schiphol; other Maybach rides are arranged via WhatsApp.
