Andaz Amsterdam
Prinsengracht
Amsterdam
This recently opened, five-star stay –
right in the heart of the picturesque canal
belt – is heavily influenced by the unusual
yet elegant style of Dutch designer
Marcel Wanders, all
trompe l’oeil
(
optical
illusion) spoon paintings and tulip-style
chairs. Guests can explore the nearby
hipster Jordaan and Negen Straatjes
neighbourhoods on the hotel’s free bikes,
and the myriad shopping possibilities of
the Leidseplein are just 400m away. At
the end of the day, enjoy a massage at the

Opening a few months ago, this modern
hotel in the historic centre has a rooftop
pool and bar that provide fabulous city
views, along with spacious rooms to
spread out and relax in. From the front
door, it only takes a minute to walk to Calle
Larios, the street famous for its shops, bars

Radisson BLU
Nantes
Housed in a 19th-century former Court
of Justice building on the Loire River, this
hotel has been freshened up with the
signature contemporary style of designer
Jean-Philippe Nuel. Despite boasting all
the latest mod-cons – including a deluxe
spa, and state-of-the-art conference room
–
the building’s historic roots have been
carefully maintained, with guests still able
to dine in the former courtroom. In fact, it’s
guilty of being rather lovely.
