QO, an IHG® hotel, seamlessly weaves luxury with holistic wellness and sustainability. Every aspect of the hotel is designed to reduce environmental impact and to create the best possible guest experience, for international and local guests alike, from the rooftop greenhouse to the intelligent façade and energy-saving features in its construction.

The QO takes the lead in the most advanced and important biomimetic design of all: transforming cities and neighbourhoods into ecosystems. The QO is a living building where loops are closed (CO2, water, energy, and waste).

The QO is a new experience for travellers and local community, leading the way towards the future of hospitality. Luxury merges with sustainability to create a visionary new lifestyle destination.

QO shows it is possible to stay in one of the top hotels in Europe, enjoy innovative, luxurious features, the healthiest food and still affirm that we care about our planet. The destination restaurant and bar offer breakfast, lunch and dinner, accompanied by a breath-taking panoramic view of Amsterdam.

All building systems are positioned in the centre of the building. The residential spaces are located around this core to maximize natural daylight in these spaces.

Materials are chosen for their circularity credentials, provenance and relevance to the QO’s story and vision. A third of the concrete used in the construction came from Amsterdam’s iconic old Shell building.
