The Hoxton Amsterdam, Netherlands

• Top design credentials: For those who like their lodgings impossibly hip and super-central, this gem from the Hoxton group is all about modish design, laid-back luxury and impeccable service in a top-notch location - in fact, you'll be staying on the Herengrach, just minutes from the art museums, bars, clubs and cafés that give Amsterdam its cool edge.

• Unique setting and style: The first branch of the Hoxton hotel chain to launch outside of London, the property was originally five separate canal houses - one of which was home to the city's mayor in the 17th-century. The rooms assure playful décor, comfy beds dressed with luxe linens, and good-looking bathrooms. 

• Signature dining: Lotti’s is a fashionable dining space with a retractable glass roof for when it’s sunny. The European-inspired menu features dishes prepared with fresh and locally-sourced ingredients. In the mornings, make your way to the chic Lotti's bar and tuck into a delicious breakfast offering.
