The hotel has 61 rooms that were all designed by graduates or alumni from the [Amsterdam Fashion Institute](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botree-hotel). Each room is covered in fabric and is themed around a certain style or period. The rooms in the Hotel the Exchange vary in luxury from one to five stars and themes. There is a Marie Antoinette-themed room along with an Emperor's New Clothes room. The fabric-covered walls are a departure from the typically "fashionable" hotels which mix chic decor with modern art. The rooms also stand out in that each one has a sewing machine and fabric should its guests become inspired to create their own clothing. Rates start at $95/night and the hotel is located in the city's Damrak district. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Hip Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/hiphotels) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fabric-covered Accommodations:** Opportunity for hotels to incorporate fashion and design elements into their rooms for a unique and immersive experience. - **Themed Room Experiences:** Room themes inspired by different styles or periods offer a chance for hotels to create rooms that cater to specific interests and preferences of guests. - **Fashion-inspired Hospitality:** The integration of fashion and hospitality presents an opportunity for collaboration between fashion designers and hotels to create innovative and visually appealing accommodations. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality:** Hotels can embrace fabric-covered accommodations and themed rooms to attract guests seeking unique and immersive experiences. - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can explore collaborations with hotels to create themed rooms and incorporate design elements, expanding their creative ventures beyond clothing. - **Interior Design:** The incorporation of fabric-covered walls and fashion-inspired elements in hotel rooms presents new opportunities for interior designers to showcase their talent and creativity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Nightlife-Inspired Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/htel-chteau-deau.md) - [Fashion-Forward Hotel Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soparis.md) - [Stationery-Themed Hotel Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-fontaine-haneda-airport.md) - [Enchanting Folklore-Inspired Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimpton-bem.md) - [Retro-Inspired Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hoxton.md) - [Hotel-Inspired Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amsterdam-zuid.md) - [Whimsically Designed Hotel Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowley-manor-experimental.md) - [Modern Milan Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-calimala-milano.md) - [Themed Hotel Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/island-shangri-la.md)
