Cheap and Chic Hotels in Europe

In preparation for the European Travel Commission bash Tuesday night in NYC my friends at Spring O’Brien sent me a packet with some updates and what is happening across the pond. Travel trends often originate across the Atlantic. Being a hotel nut I was really into the No Frills Chic info, basically low price can be quality and style. Here are three great examples:

East Jet’s easyhotels are operating low cost hotels in London and Basel. Basically prefabricated pods are inserted into pre existing buildings. Small but with showers and toilets, pay-per-view television and double beds.

Opening in Amsterdam and Antwerp this spring are Qbic Hotels, cube shaped living spaces complete with mood lighting and wireless internet and Philippe Starck bathroom elements.

Hamburg’s 25-Hours Hotel has Divani daybeds, Brionvegas televisions and are reto style with rounded corners. Check them out all are perfect for style and leave you a way to battle the EU’s strength. http://www.spring-obrien.com/ http://www.visiteurope.com/
