Dutch Design (3): Lute Suites to open 13nd January, 2005
After Haagsche Suites (Suites of The Hague) that opened 29th September 2002 and after Maison le Dragon in Bruges, we now see a new Dutch small all suite hotel initiative in Ouderkerk a/d Amstel, just outside of Amsterdam. Ouderkerk is boarding on the small Amstel river from which Amsterdam derived its name: The Dam in the Amstel.
Lute Suites is developed by Peter Lute, from Restaurant and Marcel Wanders of Marcel Wanders Studio
Seven picturesque small houses for rent as suites with or without breakfast, with or without personal shopper, with or without dinner in either the restaurant or served in your suite. No lobby, but a mini reception desk, because it is not supposed to be a hotel. More suites to follow in Amsterdam.
I like the idea and the design, but not the Lute website design, because of its cumbersome accessibility.
Update: Discovered the term Notel, created the Notel category and added this post to it.

Ruin….Just 2 Suites
Janneke and Peter Schoenmaker had set up and sold Spaarne 8, a two suites hotel in Haarlem, The Netherlands. The new owner discontinued the operation of Spaarne 8 as a hotel.
In the mean time Janneke and Peter are rebuilding a mansion in the South of France, “Just 2 Suites”.
Getting there with a front that looked like this:
and changed into this:
Update: In the meantime they sold this B&B as well and bought another building project.
The new owners of Just 2 Suites renamed the premises into Tresbos Farmhouse and it is now for rent on a weekly basis.

Stavoren’s Stadeshuys
Pim en Jane Keizer bought the old cityhall in Stavoren, a small historic city in the province of Friesland, The Netherlands. It serves already as a wedding location and they are creating a wonderful honeymoonsuite in it.
Its website is under construction, but promises something beautiful.
