| Description |
|
The Amsterdam Movenpick Hotel sits beside
the IJ with the Muziekgebouw & BIMhuis
on one side and the Passenger Ship Terminal
on the other . As such, it is ideally
placed to attract visitors frequenting both
venues. This 65 metre high, four star
hotel offers its visitors a choice of 408
rooms, "
... with spectacular views over the
historical city centre of Amsterdam or
the river IJ." The Mimeo website says of it that, "... On top of a red ceramic-clad plinth, which runs through to the Passenger Terminal, stands the nine-storey hotel tower. The façade of the hotel is made out of horizontal strips of glass, granite, marble and white concrete. Due to the stripe pattern and the materials, the façade is unusually abstract: neither the floors nor the function can be read from outside."  |
