COOL HUNTING

Amsterdam never goes off the boil, what with the clubs, the cafés, the laid-back style and people appeal. Where to stay? Our tip is citizen M hotel, just voted “trendiest” hotel in the world by TripAdvisor. This is a functional stay, there’s no lobby, you check in with a swipe card by computer (don’t expect cheery welcomes), but instead a series of spaces for working, eating, sitting. Futuristic factory-made modules mean each room is identical, but super cool – a mood pad allows you to set your lighting, music and movies. Choose from their airport hotel or city centre, from €89 for two sharing; www.citizenmamsterdamcity.com
