The city of Amsterdam transcends traditional definitions of cultural tourist city, attracting not only more than nine million tourists each year, but also an increasing number of foreigner students and knowledge workers. Cultural tourism in this built environment can thus be understood in a broader sense, involving such diverse presences with equally diverse needs. This complex system of human flows, while vital to the city’s economy, has strained hospitality spaces of the city, which seeks to contain and at the same time encourage these entries, resulting in a strong conflict between visitors and residents seeking their own living space. This issue has in recent years stimulated the emergence of new hybrid architectural typologies designed to welcome the Amsterdam’s temporary residents by integrating them with the locals. Central to the marketing strategies of these evolving spaces is the desire to build a creative community, which is open and connected to the neighbourhood. Seeking to distance themselves from the historical notion of tourist enclaves, these buildings aim to redefine their role within the urban fabric, transforming themselves into potential “third places” that promote social sustainability and enrich both travellers and local communities. The research identifies five hybrid hospitality architectures located in the city of Amsterdam, analysing their public and collective spaces dedicated to guests (students, workers, tourists) and residents. Although these spaces are described as socially and spatially permeable to the context, it is possible, on the other hand, to observe how within them dynamics of segregation of tourist space are still observable. The results offer a broad look at the ways in which hospitality architecture can shape itself as a tool for integration and relationship between visitors and local communities.
