Lock 'n' load at a gamer's paradise
Amsterdam’s unwillingness to budge from the top of every traveller’s hit list makes sense when you consider the sheer number of cool and quirky hotels in the Dutch capital. And they don’t come any cooler or quirkier than Arcade Hotel, the world’s first property centred entirely around gaming and “geek” culture. Inside, you can expect video games consoles in every room, as well as flatscreen TVs, deluxe beds and rainfall showers. But it doesn’t stop there. The recently refurbished game room is fitted with a fully functioning arcade hall, complete with over 20 classic titles, in addition to table-top machines, a souped-up console corner with giant screens and a comic book library (because even the most ardent gamers need a bit of downtime).
Discover a sanctuary in the heart of Athens
The hotel's minimalist interiors are straight from the pages of a glossy design magazine
With its sun-drenched atrium, elegant rooms and coolly minimalist interiors that could have come straight from the pages of a glossy design magazine, in[n]Athens somehow manages to offer the sanctuary of a luxury resort hotel while being located in the heart of one of Europe’s most exciting cities. Guestrooms include soundproofing, blackout windows and luxury linen as standard, while the indoor courtyard is where you can recharge your batteries after a long day of sightseeing. And when your energy levels have been restored, Athen’s designer boutiques, historical sites and best bars and restaurants are right on your doorstep.
