In a nutshell…

This self-branded “urban hotel for digital natives” is an ingenious champion of tech-infused hospitality.  Think: part hotel, part hostel, part tech heaven.  As the name suggests, at CityHub guests sleep in futuristic, app-connected, private hubs inspired by Japanese capsule hotels.  In 2016, CityHub received the award for Best Innovation in Hotel Concept at the Worldwide Hospitality Awards, and it’s easy to see why!

We have 24/7 hosts. They’re locals and they can tell you the cool places to go, also through the app. The city is basically our lobby." Sem Schuurkes, Co-Founder of CityHub

Why the hype?

• Check-in is a self-service affair, which can be performed 24/7 via touchscreen kiosks in the lobby. 

• In-hub amenities include built-in speakers, and app-controllable mood lighting, alarms and playlists.

• The hotel has its own multi-functional app which acts as a local area guide, a virtual concierge, an instant messaging platform and a means of contacting the property’s ‘CityHosts’ for tips and advice whilst guests are out exploring.

• Guests are given multi-function RFID wristbands which are not only hassle-free hub access keys, but can also be used to pay for drinks and snacks at the hotel's self-service bar, as well as to access private guest lockers available at the property.

• Their CityHub app offers guests access to their very own MiFi hotspot mobile route when out and about in Amsterdam or Rotterdam.
