I love staying in hotels, but the majority of them look more or less the same - [Hotel Not Hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/htel-chteau-deau) in Amsterdam breaks the mould by offering a new and [unique experience for travellers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-hans) by offering one-of-a-kind rooms and modern yet cozy decor.

Designed by Collaboration-O, Arno Coenen and IRIS, the hotel reflects the city its in, with a laid-back eclectic feel that is both welcoming and adventurous all at the same time. Each room in the hotel is different to cater to all tastes; some guests will prefer a more minimalist design while others will opt for a space decked out in blue and orange wallpaper. Rather than feeling like a foreign place you go back to at the end of the day, Hotel Not Hotel will feel like a [home away from home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bob-w-stockholm).
