Billing itself as "a place to rest, or not sleep at all," Amsterdam's revved-up Volkshotel opened last month in the former headquarters of the Volkskrant, one of the country's largest and most progressive newspapers.
After the newspaper moved out in 2007, the space in East Amsterdam became a creative work hub with two bars. Funneling that energy, Volkshotel refreshed the existing basement club and a seventh-floor restaurant and bar (now with a panorama view), while the reception area houses a cafe and shared workspace for creatives.
As for the "rest" part, the Volkshotel has 172 three-star standard rooms for two to four people, in sizes ranging from compact to sprawling — "suitable for couples, families, or an entire rock band," according to press material. The Dutch designer Bas van Tol of Studio Müller Van Tol decorated interiors with magnified newspaper cutouts and kept the original elements of steel, wood, concrete and glass.
In nine additional individually designed high-concept "special rooms," themes range from camping to "Japanese-style bathing." Guests seeking a soak and a sauna can visit the eighth-floor rooftop hot tubs with a view.
As an introductory offer in July, all double rooms will cost 69 euros, about $90. Otherwise, rooms range from 69 euros in low season to 199 in high season.
