Swissôtel Amsterdam

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Contested prod. The hotel itself fails WP:CHAIN and I believe we need much more than the fact that the building has an Art Noveau facade and the predecessor building it is based on was designed by a notable architect. There are probably hundreds of thousands of rebuilt Art Nouveau houses world-wide, so why should this one have an article? De728631 (talk) 19:22, 30 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge in condensed form to Swissôtel. Some of the individual buildings from which this monstrosity was bolted together may be notable, in particular Damrak 95–96, which was a fine example of the Amsterdam School architecture before it was unrecognizably altered and ruined (compare with the original facade of Berlage's building), and is mentioned in books at least here and here. However, the present article is rather obviously not about notable buildings but about a non-notable hotel from a hotel chain. --Lambiam 10:26, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge into the Swissôtel article. I stayed at this hotel once in a fluke when there were no other hotels available in Amsterdam and read a bit at the time about the history of the building, which is fascinating. With its location right next to Dam Square it's been witness to a lot of protest scenes and other historical events. I've seen other hotels of the same chain in other places, and from what I have seen the Amsterdam location is unique enough to merit a paragraph or so in the main article for the hotel.--Gloriamarie (talk) 22:28, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
