Lute Suites, Amsterdam
These luxury boutique suites are created by Marcel Wander.
There are currently a total of seven 18th Century cottages that have been transformed into one-of-a-kind suites set along the Amstel River and all command spectacular views of both the river and the beautiful Amsterdam skyline. Each suite features a kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom.
The Lute Suites are each an individual work of art with eye-catching wallpaper designs, huge windows, modern designs, and unique furniture throughout. One thing that can be said for sure about these suites is that they are unlike any hotel in the world.
The Racha, Racha IslandThis premier island hideaway features 70 luxurious villas set on a pristine stretch of beach on Racha Island.
Even though The Racha Hotel is located far from the hustle and bustle of the big city, each villa is equipped with all of the modern conveniences and furnishings that you?d expect to find in a hotel located in a more urban setting.
Large spa tubs, brightly lit rooms with tons of natural lighting, sleek design schemes, indoor and outdoor showers, and even a private infinity pool in some cases, can be found at The Racha.
The Emperor, BeijingThis urban-themed hotel is one of China?s first, and it sits adjacent to the Imperial Palace.
The 55 rooms here feature a very pleasant facade which consists mostly of minimalistic stylings and modern furnishings. Much of the furniture is unlike anything else in the world with its smooth and curvy lines, which adds greatly to The Emperor Hotel?s overall impressive interior design.
The bright colour scheme and strategically placed mood lighting gives the hotel a very clean and almost futuristic feeling.
The Royce Hotel, MelbourneThe five star rooms here at The Royce represent luxury with a capital L.
The best of the best is the Royal Suite where there?s a 42? plasma, spa tub with LCD TV mounted on the wall, marble floors, huge spacious room, sleek contemporary furnishings, and much more. This room screams urban design with its sleek lines and its ?less is more? feeling throughout.
Hotel Unique, Sao PauloHotel Unique?s 85 rooms and 10 suites are truly one-of-a-kind in terms of architecture and design.
The hotel uses smooth lines and geometric shapes throughout the design of this urban-themed establishment. From the curved wood flooring that resembles a skateboard halfpipe to the red tinted swimming pool, this hotel truly lives up to it?s name in every way.
Oscar Hotel, MadridThis 75 room hotel in the heart of Madrid is decorated with colourful paint and fun furniture.
The rooms here are as smooth as silk, and the comfort level is always high. Each room sports a great view of the Plaza Vazquez de Mella. The Oscar Hotel is the definition of an urban, chic hotel.
Hotel Sezz, ParisWith an outstanding view of the Eiffel Tower high upon its hilltop location, Hotel Sezz is a classic hotel with an artsy facade and contemporary interior.
This hotel has managed to make it onto plenty of top 10 lists over the years, and for good reason. The design of Hotel Sezz is unparalleled with its chrome and leather-filled interiors, and its sharp lines and colours that do an awesome job of blending the past with the present. The high-end Paris hotel has a total of 27 guestrooms, and an unlimited amount of style.
Seekoo Hotel, BordeauxThis cool hotel was opened in 2007, and the word ?Seekoo? means ?iceberg? in the Inuit language.
This modern hotel in the Bordeaux countryside is laced with clean lines and clever mirror effects, such as the black lacquer ceilings and clever inscribed writings on the bathroom mirrors. The white, black, and chrome minimalism throughout the rooms are accompanied by warm wood tones, slate, and soft chenille materials. The bed is even cool, as it?s in the shape of a circle.
Jeronimos 8, LisbonJeronimos 8 Located right at the center of town near Lisbon?s major museums and monuments,
Jeronimos 8 is Lisbon?s first ever design and urban resort. One of this hotel?s minimalistic features is its colour scheme throughout the design, which features three main colours: Chocolate brown, Carmine red, and a relaxing cream colour.
All of the 65 rooms here have a calm, tranquil feeling about them. Lots of natural light, marble floors, calming water flowing outside, and awesome views of Lisbon from the sun deck are some of this hotel?s greatest features.
Puro Urban Oasis Hotel, MajorcaThis chic hotel is located in the heart of Gothic old town and attracts guests in the jet-set, creative demographic. The elegant rooms here are very minimalistic in every way.
From clean lines, smooth geometric shapes, tranquil colour schemes, and lots of in-room state of the art technology, this place has got everything needed to be considered as one of the most slick and hip hotels in all of Majorca. Puro Urban Oasis has been described as a ?funky urban boho-asis for party people and hippy-chic fantasies? - if that?s not enough to tantalise the senses, then I don?t know what does. Rates here start at about 170 EUR.
