Hipster Chicks Will Love These Hotels That Are Too Cool for School ...

The more diversity we as consumers demand from just about anything, the more interesting choices we have, in everything. Previously we were stuck with choosing hotels pretty much on price once we had selected our destination, and price dictated amenities and quality. Nowadays, price point can mean absolutely anything so we can be more discerning in the hotels we book into. If you’re a boho chick or just aspire for something interesting for your stay, you’ll love these hipster hotels.

There's even a great terrace cocktail party, should you wish to party with friends, and Reynard's restaurant is part of the delicious package.

5. Lloyd Hotel, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Lloyd Hotel, Amsterdam, the Netherlands The historic landmark building sports a rather surprisingly modern decor, but don't let that put you off. The Lloyd Hotel is one of the coolest hipster hotels in Europe and certainly one of the chicest places to stay in Amsterdam. Occupying a large chunk of the trendy Eastern Docklands area, which once housed prison inmates, the 117-room hotel offers accommodation ranging from 1 to 5 stars that were designed by a hand-picked group of local artisans and designers. A large outdoor terrace and cosmopolitan in-house restaurant add to guests' creature comforts - and central Amsterdam's tourist attractions are just a short 10-minute tram ride away. Although the mixed result makes the Lloyd Hotel appear more like a design warehouse than a boutique hotel, it is representative of the wide range of artistic endeavor present in the Dutch capital. Address: Oostelijke Handelskade 1019 BN Amsterdam (near Lloydplein); +31 20 561 3636.
