SWEETS Hotel Oosterdoksdraaibrug — backstory

Backstory

Built in the 20th century to operate canal traffic, the tiny structure was redesigned as a suite in 2018.

The neighborhood

Set along the Oosterdok, the NEMO Science Museum and Central Station are just a short walk away.

“Bridge houses once used by operators to open and close drawbridges all over town have been converted with finesse and an exhilaratingly imaginative use of space into standalone hotel suites.”
