Hotel Pontsteiger (Amsterdam, North Holland) 2 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"We know, we did a double-take too — where Rem Koolhaas had to go all the way to Beijing to erect the conjoined towers affectionately known as “big pants,” Amsterdam-based architects Arons en Gelauff built their spectacular Pontsteiger building on their home city’s waterfront. The brief was to maximize the space given to the most useful parts of the building — the upper floors, for the views, and the lower floors, for their interface with the city — and minimize what’s in between. And rather than give the whole thing over to residents, the developers reserved enough space for twenty-five rooms’ worth of travelers: the Hotel Pontsteiger." - Tablet Hotels
