Amsterdam, the Netherlands: Hotel V Nesplein

The heartbeat of Amsterdam vibrantly beats throughout Hotel V Nesplein, a cutting edge inn bringing the theater and industrial chic under one roof.  After all, it is neatly situated within the city’s theater district. 

Once inside, Hotel V Nesplein comes to life with a vintage facade that majestically intertwines with its stunning features- including a 10 foot chandelier that elegantly hangs in the reception area.  However, the hotel’s most proud work of art is undeniably the Lobby, which boasts a restaurant and bar, a terrace offering panoramic views as well as a library that provides cozy accommodations for guests wanting to enjoy its great collection of books.  And when the wooden fireplace is lit, an inescapable warmth floats through the air.  Whether you’re mesmerized by the college of black and white theater pictures decorating the staircase or posted at the bar, the atmosphere of Hotel V Nesplein is one of the trendiest hotels to enjoy Amsterdam’s unique flair indoors.

Beijing, China: Grace Hotel

When you’re located in Beijing’s decked-out 798 Art District, of course you’d want to reflect the city’s dynamic outdoors.   That’s what came to mind for the Grace Hotel, a crystal factory that was transformed into a contemporary hotel blessed with high-end Chinese textures and furnishings.  Just as its names suggests, the hotel graces its guests with an option of 30 accommodations with each uniquely complying with its industrial chic theme.   

From the art-inspired designs filling up its spaces to its charming colors luring its guests in, the Grace Hotel is an ideal location for lovers to get their art-fix.  It also takes contemporary style up a notch with champagne breakfasts, artist studios and a gastronomic experience reveling in Chinese culture.

Brooklyn, NY: Henry Norman Hotel

Set against the backdrop of Brooklyn’s sleek style, the Henry Norman Hotel profoundly plays off the city’s industrialized nooks through its entire property.  The converted 19^th century warehouse is one of the newest boutiques to cordially invite guests in with a New York City swag presented with stylish lofts illuminated by natural light bouncing off of their muted walls and hardwood floors, while incorporating modern amenities such as flat screen TVs, iPod docks and coffeemakers.  And with its windows letting in the hipster vibe that consumes the nearby McCarren Park, the Henry Norman Hotel's experience is endless.

Montreal, Canada: Hotel Gault

Antiquity meets modernity at the Hotel Gault, which is etched adjacent to Montreal’s quaint downtown area.  That’s because its high-end quality nestles inside of a five story building that was constructed in the early 1870s.  However, its interior takes on another approach with a modern design that reflects the sunlight seamlessly.

Comprised of 30 rooms ranging in suites, lofts and apartments boasting rock or stone backdrops and draped in oak furnishings, the Gault Hotel also incorporates a variety of top quality amenities that gives it a contemporary feel amid its vintage décor. Heated floors and marble showers also prove the hotel takes full of its industrialized spaces to create an oasis that caters to its guests precisely.

Sydney, Australia: 1888 Hotel

Even Australia has been bitten by the industrial chic bug when the country birthed the 1888 Hotel.  But don’t be fooled by its name because although its style is very classic, the hotel’s innovative methods contribute to its dynamic appeal.  For one, its ceilings are so high you’ll have to stand at least nine feet tall to touch them easily.  Also its culinary experience reflects 1888 Hotel’s vibes with a bucolic setting and taste.

Its rooms are some of the trendiest with brick walls and iron Bark Beams that dazzle as the sound proof window lets in the sun’s rays.  The furniture here is also one-of-a-kind, with workstations artfully constructed out of recycled timber and beds custom-made to ensure guests are guaranteed a peaceful rest.

Stockholm, Sweden: Story Hotel

With the soul of Stockholm living in its veins, the Story Hotel has made a profound name for itself among tourists and locals craving an urban retreat.  Its hip style is as charismatic as the city itself by the way the hotel caters to every individual need sophisticatedly with rooms dressed in organic linens, a buffet jam-packed with delicious cuisine and showers sprinkling water like rain drops. 

But that’s not all this industrial chic hotel has to offer.  Its bar is a local hangout spot as jazz and other smooth sounds entice music lovers from all walks.  And when the Story Hotel is not buzzing with music listeners it is filled with art enthusiasts gazing at its decorative halls or its collection of artwork. Located in the heart of the Swedish capital, the Story Hotel creates a comfortable space for guests to relax or play while the soul of the city vibrantly seeps through its brick walls.

London, England: Ace Hotel London Shoreditch

The Ace Hotel London Shoreditch is not your average hotel.  Situated in one of London’s most art-inspired neighborhoods, the hotel is completely submerged itself in the culture of the capital city.  But who can blame it?
