Hyatt appears to be quietly running a promo for Andaz properties which means that stays between 1 July and 31 August (based on check-out) count double for earning World of Hyatt status. The page which references this offer is here. The T&C’s say: You must be a member of World of Hyatt to participate in…
The Andaz Amsterdam, a Hyatt property located on one of the canals is a modern art hotel. Amazing installations, comfortable rooms, free WiFi all contribute to a great stay. Located in the city, near the main shopping areas, it is easy to walk to most of the main attractions.
In November Gary at View from the Wing blog wrote about the Andaz Wall Street. His review depicts the property as having reduced their service since they opened and that it had got bad in recent months. (Interestingly the GM stopped by to make some conciliatory comments). I had been sitting on a stay for…
I am now one Andaz away from having visited the whole set, and despite a very long day travelling (Miami to Chicago, to San Francisco and Shanghai) I wanted to see if I could locate the hotel using public transport. On a previous visit I had used the Maglev train and was quite happy getting…
For my last post on this property I am proposing to cover three aspects of the hotel: Breakfast Breakfast is served on the ground floor in the restaurant behind the lifts. The staff there were friendly and offered my the menu which consists of a cold buffet or a (chargeable) hot option. The Andaz layout…

The hotel is located on one of Amsterdam’s canals in a leafy part of town away from the drunken parties in pubs around Leidesplein and Central Station. This clearly makes it an attraction for guests not wanting the party scene to keep them awake. It does mean that it is also a 15 minute walk…
It is some years (3 to be exact) since I last visited Amsterdam and so I did a little research before I arrived on the best way to get from Schipol Airport to the new Andaz. There seemed to be several options – train to Central Station and then the tram, train to one of…
I had the chance to stay at the Andaz, Livepool Street – the original Andaz property. The hotel used to be the Great Eastern Hotel and is part of Liverpool Street station – which serves the South East and East Anglia regions of the UK. The terminal, originally grand, is now very modern. The hotel…
