Corendon hotel, near the Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. A six-hour layover requires something else than sitting at the airport seats. So I found a spa at the Corendon hotel. Nice, small spa with a sauna and a steam room, a nice curving pool and small baby pool. As I was floating in the pool, the realization stuck me: a 747 was starting me straight from the window.
Read more about the 747 here and here. The plane is labelled as being in the colors of the Corendon Airlines, the owner of the hotel. But in reality it was a KLM plane.
There's a restaurant at Corendon hotel, better option than stopping at airport restaurants I think. And they insist on desserts having ice cream in them...
To get to the hotel, one needs to take a free shuttle bus (every half an hour) from the airport. And on return you need to pay at the reception, only 5€ though, and much better option than a hassle with taxis, that I've had at some other airports ..
At the airport I was also delighted to see an aviation-related shop, Planes @ Plaza, however it turned out to be more young kid-oriented than for instance PLANEWEAR at the SeaTac airport (article, alt. link).
I was here due to taking a KLM flight somewhere (reported here, alt. link).
