The Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam was officially opened yesterday. The doors have been open to guests since April. The hotel is part of the Israeli Fattal Hotel Group, which now has three Leonardo hotels in the Netherlands.
Fattal sees the hotel in Amsterdam as “the next step in the international growth strategy.” Of the current 200 hotels in Europe and Israel, the Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam is the group’s largest conference hotel.

Alexander Kluit, Managing Director of Fattal Hotel Group for the Netherlands and Belgium, says in a statement: “ Almost a year ago, Apollo Hotels became part of Fattal Hotel Group. Since then, our portfolio has more than 1,500 rooms in the Dutch capital. The Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam is our new flagship hotel for meetings and events of all sizes, with which we join the top four conference hotels in the international business center of Amsterdam. “
