Boasting 111-rooms and a view of Herengracht, which many consider to be Amsterdam's most beautiful canal, the Hoxton Amsterdam fuses the brand's "anti-hotel" approach with sophisticated luxury. Amenities on offer at the stunning first overseas location include free bottled water, one hour of free phone time (that can be used internationally), a mini fridge, free WiFi, and a lobby shop selling snacks at supermarket prices. The [Amsterdam Hoxton Hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botree-hotel) also boasts a [coffee and cocktail parlor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canal-restaurant) and a stunning lobby and restaurant space that are designed in such a way that locals can enjoy them as much as out-of-town guests. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Boutique Hotel Chains:** The growing popularity of boutique hotels presents an opportunity for innovative hotel chains to expand their unique and personalized offerings. - **Canal View Lodging:** The demand for accommodations with stunning canal views creates a market for hotels to provide canalside rooms in desirable locations. - **Anti-hotel Approach:** Hotel brands can differentiate themselves by adopting an 'anti-hotel' approach that offers unconventional amenities and experiences for guests. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can capitalize on the trend of boutique hotels and provide personalized and unique accommodation experiences to travelers. - **Real Estate:** Real estate developers can target prime locations with canal views to create canalside lodging options that cater to the growing demand for stunning views. - **Food and Beverage:** Cafes, restaurants, and bars can captivate both locals and tourists by offering unique spaces and experiences within hotels, like the coffee and cocktail parlor in the Amsterdam Hoxton Hotel. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro-Inspired Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hoxton.md) - [Brutalist Artful Hotel Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoxton-charlottenburg.md) - [Village-Luke Charming Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botree-hotel.md) - [Luxe Heritage-Inspired London Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/covent-garden-hotel.md) - [Enchanting Folklore-Inspired Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimpton-bem.md) - [Emergency Refuge Shelter Replicas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emergency-refuge-shelter.md) - [Luxury Paris Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canopy-by-hilton-cannes.md) - [Amsterdam-Honoring Dynamic Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/un-studio.md) - [Design-Focused Italian Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hilton-milan-duomo.md)
