A new design Motel | Motel one at the Waterlooplein area

Amsterdam has many hotels, one more exciting then the other maybe but definitely new and cool you may call the new Hotel from the Motel One group. I had the pleasure to join the press event some time ago and loved the design of the hotel by Piet Hein Eek. Inspired by the nearby Waterlooplein and its popular flea market, the design concept of the Motel One Amsterdam – Waterlooplein draws heavily on the idea of up cycling totally fitting the work of Piet Hein Eek.

The One Lounge was created with the help of this internationally renowned artist Piet Hein Eek and demonstrates how antiques and used items can be combined to establish a whole new character. Featuring walls covered with old windows, doors and cabinets, chandeliers that have been assembled from lights purchased at flea markets, and a fantastic workbench with specially created table lamps, the lounge is sure to spark your creativity and invite you to linger.
Rembrandt, our famous Dutch painter lived a stone’s throw away from the design hotel in the Rembrandt House, and his style of contrasting light and shadows can be seen in the One Lounge. Natural and handcrafted materials round off the design concept of the affordable Motel One Amsterdam – Waterlooplein.
