The newly built (and stunning) Hotel Inntel is anchoring the revitalization efforts of the town center of Zaandam in the Netherlands.
Designer Wilfried van Winden envisioned a place in which guests could feel at home, even when away from home. Therefore, the hotel has been designed to look like stacked houses, resembling a range of residences from a notary’s manse to a worker’s cottage. In fact there are about 70 little houses in four shades of Zaanse Schans green. Particularly eye-catching is the “The Blue House,” inspired by the eponymous artwork that Claude Monet painted in Zaandam in 1871.
Not sure when I'll ever find myself in this town, but hopefully someday I can check in to this hotel for a stay.
