ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Interstate Hotels & Resorts today announced the opening of the 252-room Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam-Sloterdijk Station in the Netherlands. The hotel is the second of a nine-hotel portfolio currently being developed across the Netherlands. As previously announced the portfolio is jointly owned by Interstate and TVHG Budget Group Beheer BV (TVHG) and operated by Interstate Hotels & Resorts under long-term contracts.
“One of the pillars of success of our global management model is the Company’s long and strong relationships with top international hotel brands,” said Jim Abrahamson, Interstate’s chief executive officer. “The Holiday Inn Express at Sloterdijk Station is now one of the newest hotels in the market and, with its convenient location at this major transportation hub and high value offering, will quickly become a magnet for business and leisure travelers.”
Located adjacent to Sloterdijk Station, one of the main train stations of Amsterdam, the Holiday Inn Express offers convenient access by rail to Amsterdam City Center, Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and Amsterdam RAI Convention Center. Hotel amenities include extensive lobby level lounge spaces for work or relaxation, a lobby bar, complimentary Wi-Fi and continental breakfast served daily.
The nine properties in the Netherlands portfolio, comprising 1,800 rooms, are all well-located, close to railway stations and airports or along main highways, and will be branded under the Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express or Hampton Inn by Hilton flags.
“Another key aspect of our successful global management platform is our ability to make selective investments in key markets to support our growth, with a focus on partnering with experienced local companies,” said Leslie Ng, Interstate’s chief investment officer. “We have a strong relationship with TVHG, a very experienced, highly regarded hotel developer, and look forward to building on it in the future.”
