The space From 1984 to 2017 bridge house Buiksloterdraaibrug accommodated the city’s bridge keepers. In 2017 the bridge house started a new chapter as one of SWEETS hotel's 28 hotel rooms. As with every SWEET, Buiksloterdraaibrug’s interior is inspired by its architectural history. Architect 1984: Ingenieursbureau Amsterdam (IBA) Architect 2017: Space&Matter Architectural Style: Structuralism Bridge Type: Swing Bridge The bridge house at Buiksloterdraaibrug (bridge) over the North Holland Canal was designed by Rijkswaterstaat (governmental water control). Nonetheless, Buiksloterdraaibrug has a rustic character because of its location and the brick elevations. The large windows on all sides provided the bridge keeper with a clear view over the canal. Guest access Guests have access to the entire bridge house, including a double bed (160x200cm), a toilet, a shower and coffee & tea facilities. The entrance is unlocked with the guest's own smartphone, by making use of a mobile key app and Bluetooth. Other things to note Listen to your favourite music by connecting your phone to the provided Bluetooth speaker! A basic cleaning check is done every two days. Please note that the bridge is still fully operational and might open and close during your stay. It is a unique experience to wave at the ships passing by, but be careful when going outside. Because of safety regulations, the minimum age for guests to stay at SWEETS hotel is 21. Registration Details Exempt
