Hotels Near Schiphol Airport

As major an airport in Europe as Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport is, you’d think it would be so enormous that it would require being set far away from the city center. In reality, it takes a scant half-hour by train to get from Centraal Station to Schiphol (or vice versa), so you may not necessarily need an airport hotel at Schiphol if you’d rather just stay in the city.

If your arrival is late enough or your departure early enough that you don’t want to deal with a train trip in or out of the city, however, staying at a hotel that’s even closer to the terminal (and therefore a cheaper cab ride away) is definitely an option.

The map below shows Schiphol Airport in the lower left corner, and a few hotels closer to the airport than the city center marked with blue icons. You can learn more about each hotel by clicking on the icon, or by scrolling to the brief descriptions underneath the map.
