ESCAPE TO CALMNESS

The current city life is busy and hectic. Urbanization is a trend and cities are getting bigger and bigger. The city never sleeps and daily innovation plays an important role. Everything should be bigger, faster and more sustainable. There is so much innovation that counter-reactions are evoked.

In Copenhagen, there is a new hotel called Central Hotel & Cafe. This hotel is unique because it’s a one-room hotel and even the smallest hotel of the world. This one hotel is about authenticity, handcraft, re-connection and digital detoxing. The hotel is based in the innercity in one of Copenhagen’s most famous streets. The interior of this hotel room is special because everything is handcrafted and handpicked. Downstairs you will find a small coffeebar, where locals get their morning coffee. All food and drinks are local, Fair-Trade and high quality.

The busy and innovative city life is not always what we want. The current city life makes us desire for calmness, honesty and authenticity. This signal can be seen in this hotel, but also in other places. Such as a coffee/design shop, KOKO in Amsterdam, where they intentionally disable the Wi-Fi at the weekend. Isn’t it COOL that this hotel can provide us in new needs. The interior and products of this hotel are sustainable. Everything is locally sourced and made of fair-trade products. So the hotel contributes in a positive way to the “city-economics” of Copenhagen. In the FUTURE cities will grow, big buildings and crowded complexes will be avoided. This creates new oppurtinities for the hospitality industry. Because more and more people will escape to places where calmness and honesty are the most important values.
