Dutch town Zaandam played a special role in Russian history: Peter I lived here and studied shipbuilding, working as a carpenter at a local shipyard. The house-museum dedicated to the life of the tsar was for a long time almost the only local attraction, but quite recently a real architectural miracle appeared here - a 4-star hotelbuilt by the company Inntel Hotel … It is notable for the fact that it resembles a large pile of houses assembled into a single giant "puzzle".
The hotel resembles a visual aid to Dutch architecture. Here are collected about 70 different "houses" that could belong to people with completely different social status: from a prestigious notary to an ordinary hard worker. The walls of the hotel are painted in four shades of green, which is also traditional for the Dutch. The walls are lined with timber on the outside, so they look authentic on the outside. Although, of course, the hotel's equipment is quite modern: in an 11-storey building (height - 40 m) there are 160 comfortable rooms, a swimming pool, a wellness center, a Turkish bath and a bar-restaurant.
Architects from WAM, which prepared the project for the hotel and successfully completed construction in 2010, note that the idea is based on local architectural tradition. But the source of inspiration was the painting by Claude Monet "The Blue House in Zaandam", which the impressionist created in 1871.
