College Hotel
Style Light, contemporary, buzzy
Setting Lofty ex-schoolhouse
Amsterdam's College Hotel is easy on the eye and on the wallet. Imagine if an interior decorator from the East-meets-West school of design had been let loose at a posh prep school – the building has wonderfully high ceilings that reinforce its college credentials, a surprisingly relaxed elegant bar and a hugely popular restaurant occupies the former assembly hall. One important fact: rather appropriately, each member of staff is a student.
