The Four Elements Hotel Amsterdam uses gravity, wind and sunlight to form a natural air conditioning system. It is the first hotel in the world to do so. The concept of transforming the building into a ‘climate machine’ is based on the natural ventilation system found in termite mounds.
This concept is the brainchild of Dr. Bronsema and is the backbone of the hotel: providing fresh air, heating, cooling and energy, with excess thermal energy being stored underground.
We have translated this special concept into all facets of the hotel. As a guest you will be able to see and experience many different sustainable aspects; water glasses made from half wine bottles, bed linen made from recycled bed linen, coffee cups made from leftover clay from primary schools. Only local ingredients are used in the kitchen. Simply too much to describe in words.
We are happy to tell you more about all the ins and outs of our concept, if you are interested in more information or a show around, please contact our hosts at the reception desk.
