First Hyatt Hotel in the Netherlands Presents Video Art

First Hyatt Hotel in the Netherlands Presents Video Art PR Newswire AMSTERDAM, October 29, 2012 AMSTERDAM, October 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Hyatt Hotel Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht opens in the former public library of Amsterdam. A special cooperation between Paul Geertman of Aedes Real Estate, Marcel Wanders and Hyatt Hotels Corporation has resulted in a surprisingly multi functional hotel concept with an exciting combination of 'office suites' and studios for the international creative industry, and a permanent collection of video art for guests and visitors. http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121029/572785 In 2008 initiators Paul Geertman and Marcel Wanders decided to do something special with the former public library. Geertman: "Our aim was to merge the huge building with the intricate structure and diversity of the Amsterdam inner city. To us it was clear from the start that we would have a multifunctional approach, combining lodgings with work and culture. The creative theme became video art." Now, five years later, the plan has been realised, a hotel in the highest segment operated by Hyatt Hotels Corporation. Opening under the Andaz brand, the concept seamlessly fits the original idea of combining different functions, as Geertman and Wanders had in mind. In the building workspaces have been created: 'office suites' and studios for the international creative industry, who can further make full use of the hotel facilities.
