Designhotel

Maastricht


With its own in-house artist, this calm, professional design hotel has a lobby with '70s retro vibe and a respected brasserie oozing comfortable contemporary modernism. The 105 rooms come in varying sizes and styles, all with kettle and coffee machine and usually parquet wooden floors. Breakfast costs €15 per person.

Many feature stark, bold colours, others have bed boards inlaid with photo art or painted designs. Superior rooms often sport open 'show baths'. Five rooms lack natural light. The ground-floor Purple Red lounge is a vibrantly coloured chill-space with games to play for both adult and child guests. A small, light-suffused gym on the 4th floor has four exercise machines.
