A few new photos have added to the property's website
I checked the website of Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam today and it seems that a few new photos have been added (two at the moment), one of the exterior of the hotel and one from one of the accommodations, namely the "King grand Loft". I guessing more will be added later on to replace of the computer generated designs of the rooms and interior of the hotel.

I like the location, far side of street/canal behind the square, as not right on the Rembrandt Plein square itself, should be much quieter than the eg NH hotels that are directly overlooking the square.

Really looking forward to staying here mid June.
I'm staying with family and between us have 3 room types booked including a night using points so will try to get lots of pictures of the different room types if I can as well as any upgrades we are given/offered.

Yes, I used one last weekend. I was barely there, so can't give much of a review--the public spaces are lovely, the room was nice, no sound came out of my television.

I must say I find it interesting that although I have booked a points stay here back in March (the stay is in June) I have had no correspondence with the hotel regarding this stay...
However, upon booking two paid stays (to be joined to the points stay)...received a phone call and an email asking if there was anything that I required or if I needed transport from the airport, etc...
I do like it if hotels proactively contact me before a stay, however, find it a bit off that this seems to only be done for cash stays and not for any stay here...
Anyway, have asked a few questions and made a request or two so will see if they come back to me or not and post this in my review after the stay.
Anyone that has stayed here so far...have you received any upgrades? How was breakfast? (As there will be four of us, wondering whether to eat here or go somewhere else for breakfast as it will be around 120 Euro each morning! If the breakfast is good, may consider paying that...)
Thanks for any info anyone can provide so far!

They will almost certainly be able to arrange transport for you - but it will come with a price tag

With that being said, there are quite a few mid-priced properties that have airport shuttles, and there is a shared airport shuttle. Most opt to take the train to Centraal (or South)+tram/bus/walk or the #197 airport bus.
If you are interested in a luxury car (which is my assumption, if you want the Waldorf to request a car), the most cost-effective (of the expensive) option is to use Uber and request a luxury car (instead of a black car). This should run 50€ to 60€; and I would imagine be far less than what the hotel might charge for a "luxury" car; but I might be mistaken. (My suggestion, would be to request Uber at baggage claim, and meet "across the street" at the Sheraton-Schiphol; IMO, this is by far the easiest meeting point for (requested) cars.)
