Nhow Amsterdam RAI is a four-star hotel with unique facilities. It is located in the triangle between RAI Amsterdam, the A10 orbital motorway and Europaboulevard, and its 650 rooms make it the biggest hotel in the Benelux.
With the worldwide renowned architectural firm OMA as a designer, Zuidas once again has gained an icon. The designers were inspired by RAI itself: the Signaal, the advertising column that has stood in front of the complex since the opening of the Europahal in 1961. Both the hall and the column are a national monument. Hotel Nhow Amsterdam RAI builds on the Signaal, with its special stack of triangular elements.
Nhow Amsterdam RAI offers more than a hotel. On the top two floors, at a height of 91 meters, are a restaurant, a lounge, a conference room and a multimedia studio. These are accessible to hotel guests and visitors.
Realisation
The design is by OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture). The developers are COD and being Development. Pleijsier Bouw Nijkers is responsible for the construction itself. Hotel Nhow Amsterdam Rai was established in collaboration with RAI.
