Hotel Review
citizenM Amstel, Amsterdam, Netherlands
WHAT WE LOVE...
Each citizenM hotel has a theme, and the one here is LGBTQ - shown through the rainbow range of colours and by the choice of some of the artworks and books. The lounge areas are especially inviting, with groups of sofas, armchairs and coffee tables, as well as restaurant tables under little silver pendant lights. They lead off two event rooms with big circular tables that would make any work meeting sing. There are lots of little touches stamping the citizenM personality; for example the corridors don't have any old carpet, but a striking black and bright red carpet that has an aerial view of Amsterdam. There are also numerous attempts to get you in the citizenM frame of mind such as the slogan on the lift, "citizenM says… get together" and the do not disturb sign, "Don't come in, there's someone naked here". This sort of thing could annoy some guests, but with everything else so impressive, you hardly notice.
