WORLDS FIRST SAND CASTLE HOTEL OPENS IN NETHERLANDS






That's the idea at two new pop-up hotels constructed from sand in the Netherlands.
The fully furnished one-room suites have been built as part of the annual sand sculpture festivals in Sneek, Friesland and Oss, Brabant.
They're hidden inside eight-meter-high sculptures, one modeled on the Flintstones' cartoon home town of Bedrock, the other decorated with dragons, the Great Wall of China and the Terracotta Army.
And unlike the sandcastles you may have built in your youth, these pop-up palaces have windows, electricity, running water and Wi-Fi. 

Some 800,000 kilograms of sand were used at the Friesland festival alone. The hotels took four weeks to complete.
The one-room hotels are located inside eight-meter-high sand sculptures. They're fully furnished and have windows, Wi-Fi, electricity and running water.






The exterior of the Oss Hotel is inspired by China and features sculptures of dragons and the Terracotta Army.


















The festivals run until September 28 in Sneek, Friesland, and October 4 in Oss, Brabant. They attract some of the world's leading artists and there are 30 large sculptures at each site.

















Rushing water puts a swift end to most sandcastles, but at the Zand Hotel there's a shower, toilet, sink and toiletries.
