Four Elements Hotel Amsterdam  

On the harbor of IJburg in Amsterdam — a modern, green neighborhood of man-made islands and floating homes. Steps from Blijburg Beach (0.9 km) and a short drive to Artis Zoo, NEMO Science Museum, Ziggo Dome and the Rijksmuseum.

An energy-neutral, fully sustainable hotel with nature-inspired design and 195 air-conditioned rooms. Rooms feature espresso makers, flat-screen TVs, laptop-compatible safes and desks, plus complimentary toiletries and hairdryers. Tech and green engineering are built in — solar panels on the roof and gym equipment that helps generate power.

Standouts include Restaurant FIVE with an in-house greenhouse, a 10th-floor Wind Sky Bar rooftop, a coffee shop and a bar/lounge. Fitness center, bicycle rentals, a terrace, 24-hour front desk, laundry/dry cleaning, luggage storage and paid self-parking are on site. Buffet breakfast is available for a fee — and you can wake up to sea-breeze mornings by the water.

Free Wi-Fi throughout the property and a conference hall for meetings and events. Accessible facilities and a 24-hour reception keep business travel straightforward.

Restaurant FIVE leans on its in-house greenhouse to deliver fresh, locally driven dishes. Wind Sky Bar pours signature rooftop cocktails, while the cafe and bar keep casual bites and coffee on hand all day.
