Good news for the adventurous travellers out there: Emmy Polkamp\u2019s nomadic hotel concept is coming back to Eindhoven for DDW. This time it will be popping up at De Kapel on the Kanaalstraat.<\/p>\n

\n

We previously wrote about To Many Places as part of the story on the\u00a0special places to stay in Eindhoven<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

In 2015 Emmy graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven with her concept of unusual accommodations. The idea: to fill special and often empty venues with a temporary \u2018hotel\u2019. In this way, closed buildings are opened up to holiday-makers as well as locals. Polkamp designed tents for inside the locations which could house single or double beds.<\/p>\n

A lot has happened in one year. <\/b>At the DDW Graduation Show last October, the young designer had only one tent. Now she boasts five models. Of course it didn\u2019t all go without a hitch. A crowdfunding campaign to raise money for more tents misfired, but she won the \u2018Doe Geld\u2019 Prize, a youth competition in Den Bosch, which granted her a cheque for \u20ac10,000.<\/p>\n

In the summer, she took her hotel to the Boulevard Theatre Festival. \u201cThat\u2019s when everything fell into place.\u201d People from the Netherlands and even further afar who spent the night got to talk to one another about the show they had just seen. The hotel has the social aspect of camping \u2013 without the wet feet.<\/p>\n

To Many Places sets up in old and mostly abandoned buildings: former forts, factories, or even prisons \u2013 just not this DDW. During her search for the perfect location, DDW put the designer in contact with De Kapel on the Kanaalstraat. \u201cIt\u2019s a magical space,\u201d says Emmy.\u00a0One that still holds ecumenical services for the Eindhovense Studenten Kerk. It\u2019s no dilapidated industrial building; it\u2019s a meeting place of real meaning.<\/p>\n

Polkamp couldn\u2019t have wished for a better spot. It\u2019s a beautiful location in the centre of Eindhoven. DDW visitors can spend a night in the unique atmosphere of the church with its many stained-glass windows. Even if you\u2019re just curious and not planning on staying over, you are very welcome to come and have a look. The hotel is open for visitors every day of the week, except Sundays, from 3 pm – 7 pm.<\/p>\n

If you do want to stay the night, visit Emmy<\/a> or AirBnB<\/a> to reserve a tent. It costs \u20ac95,- which includes a full breakfast. Because there aren\u2019t sufficient facilities at De Kapel, Emmy has hired a mobile bathroom for the occasion, \u201cAnd this one is actually still quite nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

To Many Places by Emmy Polkamp |\u00a0De Kapel |\u00a0Kanaalstraat<\/p>\n

The Nine Hidden Gems of DDW was made possible through a\u00a0collaboration with Dutch Design Daily and DDW curator, Katja Lucas. Want to check out the Hidden Gems for yourself? Urban Exploring Tours and Koga bikes will be organising a special bike tour every morning and afternoon where you will see the selected designers. For more information, click here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
