Apollo Amsterdam to undergo renovation after joining Wyndham
The Wyndham Apollo Hotel Amsterdam, the flagship of Apollo Hotels & Resorts, overlooks the only point in Amsterdam where five canals converge. It is near the RAI Trade and Congress Centre, the World Trade Centre Amsterdam, Royal Concert Hall and the city’s museums, shopping districts and night life of the Leidseplein.
“We proudly welcome the Wyndham Apollo Hotel Amsterdam to our growing system,” said Eric Danziger, Wyndham Hotel Group president and chief executive officer. “This hotel strengthens our global distribution and will provide international travelers with an outstanding destination when they visit the Netherlands.”
The Wyndham Hotel Group portfolio in Europe now includes 232 hotels that span the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts®, Days Inn®, Howard Johnson®, Ramada, Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham and Wyndham-affiliated Corinthia® brands. The Wyndham Apollo Amsterdam Hotel joins the brand’s luxury Wyndham Grand London Chelsea Harbour in the United Kingdom and Corinthia hotels in Hungary, Portugal and the Czech Republic.
The hotel has six multipurpose function rooms that can accommodate events of up to 300. Dining facilities include Restaurant La Sirène, known as one of the best seafood restaurants in Amsterdam, the Marina lounge and two waterside outdoor cafes. Other facilities include a gym and business center with administrative support.
“We are proud to be selected as the first Wyndham brand hotel in the Netherlands,” said Francesco Monaco, Apollo Hotels & Resorts managing director. “In recent years we have invested significantly in facilities and service, creating a clear market positioning and enabling us to target a higher-end customer segment.”
Alexander Kluit, Apollo’s business area manager, said the Wyndham Apollo Hotel Amsterdam soon will undergo a major renovation. “The public spaces will get a complete makeover, enabling us to deliver a great new customer experience,” he said. “In addition, all the rooms will be renovated, and the hotel will be expanded to incorporate our new Chill-Out Spa.”

The chain operates 12 companies including the wellness resort Thermae 2000 in Valkenburg, Netherlands; Crowne Plaza Den-Haag-Promenade; and Holiday Inn Ijmuiden Seaport Inn.
