굽은 큐빅 구조에 다이아몬드 모양의 창문과 42미터 높이의 천정을 특징으로 한 넓직한 아트리움이 독창적인 이 곳은 새로운 힐튼 암스테르담 공항 스키폴 호텔이다.
공항에서 접근하기 가까운 곳에 위치한 이 호텔은 스키폴 블러바드를 따라 늘어져 있는 건물들과 리듬을 함께 하고 있다. 호텔은 45도 각도로 휘어져 있는데, 이를 통해 단순히 모멘텀을 주는 것뿐만 아니라 스키폴 블러바드에 가시적인 커넥션을 제공하고 있다.
사선의 호텔 외관 패턴은 건물의 아이코닉한 외형을 강조하고 있다. 유리와 흰색과 하얀색을 조합한 판넬로 구성한 외형이 거대한 다이아몬드 패턴을 구성하면서 멀리서도 이 건물을 눈에 띄게 하고 있다. 동시에, 퍼사드 패턴은 개별 룸과 바닥 사이의 경계를 없애면서도 건물의 3면이 가지는 힘을 강화시킨다.
With its curved cubic structure, diamond-shaped windows and spacious atrium featuring a 42-metre high glazed roof, the new Hilton Amsterdam Airport Schiphol hotel is an impressive landmark.
Located at the main access roads to the airport, the hotel acts as the final chord of the staccato rhythm of the buildings along Schiphol boulevard. From its plinth, the hotel is rotated by 45 degrees. This gives the building not only momentum, but also creates a visual connection to Schiphol Boulevard, the Ceintuurbaan and the adjoining office strip. A covered walkway, the Traverse, connects the hotel to the airport terminals.

The distinctive diagonal pattern of the hotel exterior serves to emphasise the iconic appearance of the building. The combination of glass and composite panels in white and grey creates a large scale diamond pattern with subtle shine and relief, making the building recognisable from a substantial distance. At the same time, the facade pattern strengthens the unity of the three building volumes – the plinth, the guest room tower and the Traverse – while blurring the boundaries between the individual rooms and floors.
A welcoming atrium with a 42-metre high glazed roof is the main meeting area and forms the heart of the hotel. Mecanoo designed the atrium to have a strong identity. Its size, the indoor gardens and the light horizontal lines of the white balustrades that reflect daylight deep into the building provide an air of grandeur. Wooden slats, frames and lining create refinement and a natural, luxurious appearance. From the smoothly winding galleries, guests have spectacular views of the atrium. State-of-the-art acoustic measures bring a comfortable human scale to the impressive space. The atrium also plays an important role in the sustainability concept. To reduce energy consumption, the outside air is preconditioned in the atrium before being introduced into the guest rooms.
