Reuse forgotten spaces
It has the appearance of just another tent, and yet it is a luxurious itinerant hotel establishment . Its name is To Many Places and it is one of the projects that defend a new concept of tourism, that of pop-up hotels.
After graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven , the young Emmy Polkamp The challenge was raised to create a travel hotel that would combine the best of the camping experience without giving up the **comfort of the bed** of a good hotel.

Also, one common kitchen and a living room They will accompany the rest of the rooms on the route of this peculiar establishment. These will be the basic elements, but not the only ones, with which the clients of the To Many Places they will be able to enjoy the social component of a campsite. The icing on the cake will be put by the activities held around the hotel. For example, they will be given yoga classes ** and there will be an ** outdoor cinema for entertainment.
In addition, another of the characteristics that Polkamp itself highlights is the use of abandoned spaces in the places through which the hotel passes. "Each city has places that, unfortunately, are not used and, precisely, many of them want to open their doors to temporary events ”, explains the creator of this pop-up hotel. Thus, To Many Places can be found in a historic factory, in an abandoned church or even in a prison.
For now, the Polkamp project is in full swing. search for financing . For this, the designer has created a crowdfunding campaign with which she seeks to raise the €10,000 that she needs for him To Many Places be a reality. With them, she would create six more stores that would join the one she already has.
The first store of many

This is where another of the strengths of the Polkamp project is found: its cost . Although it is quite similar to the price per night of a classic hotel, the price of pop-up accommodation is usually quite above. In fact, in some, a single night can cost at least 2,000 euros.
This is what happens at ** The Pop-up Hotel **, the first establishment in Europe to bet on this ephemeral hotel concept . It was 2011 and its creators began to offer accommodation in luxury tents located in the surroundings of those places where some world-famous event is celebrated.
While To Many Places, will not be limited to settling in places where events are held, but will also organize its own activities, the concept of The Pop-up Hotel is based on pitching their tents there where something happens , like the ** Glastonbury festival ** that is celebrated in the United Kingdom every June. There, this peculiar hotel company installs its rooms, for which some festival-goers pay up to 13,000 pounds ( more than 17,000 euros ) for a six-person tent.
The Pop-up Hotel has proven to be a successful case of innovation in the world of hospitality and, now, projects are born around him to try to change the chip of travellers: why look for a hotel after choosing a destination and not the other way around?
