The Restaurant at Intercontinental Amstel Amsterdam

"The French La Rive restaurant is one of the hallowed temples of Amsterdam cuisine"

"The restaurant, La Rive, flaunts its Michelin star; guests take high tea in the Riverside lounge; and in a rare concession to modernity, there's a health club and indoor pool"

"At the time of writing, Amstel Brasserie was closed for refurbishment, but its classic brasserie-style food can also be ordered at elegant La Rive, the hotel’s riverside restaurant, which is known for its French-Mediterranean fine dining and impeccable service"

"Lavishly decorated rooms, reverential service and luxe extras – such as the Michelin-starred La Rive restaurant, heated indoor pool, and fitness centre with all sorts of steam options – delight even the fussiest trans-Atlantic celebrities and Euro royalty"

"Amenities include an on-site spa with a heated indoor pool, Turkish bath, sauna, and massage services, while the Michelin-starred La Rive restaurant serves up French-Mediterranean cuisine and romantic views of the river on the ground floor"

"Everything here is superlative: arrival by the hotel's own boat is possible; staff are both liveried and top-hatted; the restaurant is Michelin-starred; the swimming pool looks out on the river; even the galleried lobby as you walk in is breathtaking"

"  The hotel houses La Rive, a French-Mediterranean restaurant; Amstel Brasserie, serving classic brasserie dishes and wine; the Amstel Lounge for afternoon drinks or tea; and three attractive terraces for outdoor summer dining"

"Cruise the canals in style on a private guided tour aboard one of the three beautiful boats moored alongside the hotel; catering from the restaurant is available"

"Open for dinner only, the acclaimed Michelin-starred La Rive restaurant (closed Sunday and Monday) affords glorious river views and sublime French Mediterranean cuisine"
