Business Travel Made Easy: Why Amsterdam-South is the Smart Choice for Meetings and Corporate Stays

October marks the return to business as usual in Amsterdam, and savvy corporate travelers are discovering that Amsterdam-South offers everything they need without the chaos of the city center.

Looking for the perfect location for your next business meeting in Amsterdam? Crowne Plaza Amsterdam-South combines accessibility, flexibility, and comfort — creating a setting where ideas flow as easily as conversations.

Just minutes from Amsterdam Zuid Station, our hotel offers the ideal balance between focus and relaxation, making it one of the most convenient business hotels in Amsterdam for end-of-year meetings and events.

Zuidas: Amsterdam's Business Heart

When time is money, location matters. Crowne Plaza Amsterdam-South sits at the heart of the city’s modern business district, offering seamless connections to:

  • Amsterdam Zuid Station – 3 minutes’ walk, with direct trains to Schiphol Airport (7 min) and Amsterdam Central (10 min).

  • The Zuidas – a dynamic hub for finance, tech, and legal sectors.

  • Major road access – A10 ring road for easy arrival by car or taxi.

  • GVB metro and tram network – connecting to all major districts in minutes.

Your delegates will appreciate arriving stress-free — whether they’re local, flying in, or joining remotely.

The district itself reflects the efficiency that business travelers appreciate. Zuidas operates on business time, with corporate cafes, executive lunch spots, and professional networking venues that understand the pace of international business. 

What makes this location truly strategic is the seamless integration of work and accommodation. You can walk to morning meetings, return to the hotel between appointments, and easily access Amsterdam’s business community, international transport connections and you are still 10 minutes away from Amsterdam canals and tourist attractions.

Designed for Modern Meetings

Our meeting rooms are built for flexibility. Each space is equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, built-in AV technology, and ergonomic seating to keep teams focused throughout the day.

Examples of gatherings we host include:

  • Board meetings and strategy sessions

  • Hybrid workshops with remote participants

  • Client presentations and private networking dinners

  • Team-building and small-group brainstorms

When the workday wraps up, unwind with a cocktail or dinner at Manhattan Lounge Bar — the perfect spot to continue the conversation in style.

Easy Meeting: Simplicity that Works

We know your time is valuable — that’s why we created the Easy Meeting package, tailored for groups of up to 20 participants.

What makes it easy:

  • One clear rate: €89 per person, including the Day Delegate Rate (DDR) package.

  • No prepayment required — pay upon arrival.

  • 48-hour cancellation policy, for full flexibility.

  • 48-hour option hold before confirming your booking.

  • No deposit — just a credit card authorization for peace of mind.

It’s designed for planners who value efficiency and reliability — so you can focus on content, not logistics.

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport Connection

International business travel demands efficient airport connections, and Amsterdam-South excels with direct train service to Schiphol Airport in just 8 minutes. This isn’t just about convenience—it’s about reliability and time management that business travelers can count on. 

The train connection runs every few minutes throughout the day, eliminating the stress of taxi scheduling or traffic delays. Early morning flights become manageable when you can leave the hotel 45 minutes before departure and still arrive comfortably at your gate. Late evening arrivals mean you can be in your hotel room within 30 minutes of landing. 

For business travelers managing tight schedules, multiple cities, or last minute changes, this connection provides the flexibility and reliability that makes Amsterdam-South the logical choice for corporate accommodation. 

Time: Trains to Schiphol every 4 6 minutes during business hours 
Location: Amsterdam Zuid Station, 2 min walk from hotel

The area’s executive restaurants understand business dining protocols, offering private dining rooms, appropriate noise levels for confidential discussions, and service timing that respects business schedules. 

Our Manhattan Lounge creates the perfect environment for informal business meetings, client receptions, or networking conversations. The professional atmosphere encourages business discussions while providing the comfortable setting that helps build relationships and close deals.
