Fifteen Amsterdam hotels from the original collection, plus Bergse Bossen in Driebergen as a separate countryside option. Check each hotel’s current certification and your route before booking.
Hotel Casa and Conscious Hotel Westerpark
The original collection contains fifteen hotels in Amsterdam and one countryside property in Driebergen. The descriptions record environmental features and certifications associated with those properties; ask for current property-specific evidence if a certificate or energy source determines your booking. These options are spread across the city, so check the route to the places you plan to visit.
These are the Amsterdam stays we send conscious travellers to first.
