2017 Quiet Hotel Award: Mövenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre
On 12 December, the coveted Quiet Hotel Award will be presented for the 3rd time. The winner has been selected from the over 157 European hotels that have acquired the Quiet Room®label. This year's winner is the Mövenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre, a 4-star hotel in possession of 408 QR-qualified rooms.
As always, the participating hotels have been meticulously reviewed by the Quietroom Foundation, which oversees the quality and sets the standards for the QR-label. Selection criteria include things like hotel location, number of QR-qualified rooms, design & build measures for sound insulation, and client reviews on social media.
The 2017 winner of the award is located on the river IJ, close to Amsterdam's historic centre and just 20 minutes from Schiphol Airport. It was renovated in 2013 and in 2017 the Mövenpick hadall its rooms certified for theQuiet Room®label. 31 rooms have qualified for the highest Quietroom category, the remainder for the second category.
According to Lucas Keizer of the Quietroom Foundation, 'the excellent performance of the Mövenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre with regard to sound insulation is partly due to the use of QR-certified products and manufacturers, which guarantees that renovation and insulation measures meet the highest possible standards.'
For the last 10 years, noise has topped the charts of complaints by hotel guests. With the growing influence of online consumer reviews on hotel reputation and revenues, an increasing number of hotels have begun to take soundproofing seriously. Since its creation in 2014 the Quiet Room® label has become increasingly popular among travellers: the Quietroom Foundation receives hundreds of emails a day from all around the globe requesting information on Quiet Room hotels.
