There’s a Marriott resort that has intrigued me for fairly a while. Now that I’ve the prospect to truly keep at it, although, I’m not really positive I need to decide this property? So I’m curious what y’all suppose…
Marriott’s Corendon Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
Within the close to future I’ve an in a single day deliberate at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (I’ll allow you to guys guess which airline product I’m planning to assessment), and I’m attempting to determine the place to remain.
For fairly a while, I’ve been intrigued by the Corendon Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, which is a part of Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio. There’s one easy cause I’m intrigued by this 207-room resort, and that’s the truth that there’s a Boeing 747 simply outdoors the resort.
For these not acquainted, Corendon is a leisure trip group, with low price carriers based mostly in each Turkey and the Netherlands. The corporate used to fly Boeing 747s, and quite than scrapping all of the jets, certainly one of them is now on show outdoors the airport resort.
The Dutch model of the airline at the moment operates a single lengthy haul route utilizing an Airbus A350 leased from World2Fly, and that airplane flies from Amsterdam to Curaçao. The airline created a hilarious, raunchy security video completely for this route, and I consider it was even filmed inside this Boeing 747.
The resort is kind of inexpensive, and appears to have a reasonably cool design, although the rooms look fairly easy.
Why I’m not offered on staying at this property
As an aviation geek, I in fact discover the Boeing 747 at this resort to be very cool. The one catch is that finest I can inform, there’s not really an aviation theme to the property past that. Right me if I’m flawed, however I don’t consider you may really enter the plane both.
So it’s it value staying at a resort simply to have the ability to take a look at a 747, cool as it might be, once I’ve seen footage of it on-line? This isn’t just like the TWA Lodge, the place there’s an aviation theme all through the property (although that resort is kind of a nickel-and-diming mess).
If there weren’t another nice airport resort choices I’d most likely keep there anyway, however there’s additionally the Sheraton Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, which appears fairly nice for an airport resort:
- The resort is related on to the airport, so doesn’t require taking a shuttle, which is one thing I vastly worth at an airport resort, given what a time consuming ache shuttles could be
- The resort has a membership lounge, which is an amenity I recognize, particularly once I’m attempting to work from someplace aside from my room whereas touring, to keep away from falling asleep attributable to jet lag
- The Sheraton has some rooms which have airport views, which is all the time fairly a promoting level as an aviation geek, as a result of who doesn’t like seeing airplanes from their room?
- The Sheraton was just lately renovated, and really appears very nice
Backside line
I’m attempting to determine the place to remain for an upcoming in a single day at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. I’m intrigued by the Corendon, which has a Boeing 747 parked outdoors, however isn’t in any other case related to the airport. As a lot because the resort has been on my radar, I can’t assist however really suppose {that a} keep on the Sheraton could be higher, between it being related on to the terminal, the membership lounge, and the airport views.
The place ought to I keep (and assessment) — the Corendon or Sheraton?
