Inntel Hotel in Zaandam opens its doors
Inntel Hotel in Zaandam was officially opened on 18 March and also has a ‘remarkable interior’ with old images of the Zaanstreek (Zaandam area).

The stack of houses has four shades of green and one of blue, which can be found traditionally in the area. You really can’t miss it.
