"This notoriously compact city is perfectly suited for the Hoxton concept: long on style, if short on space, and easier on the budget than a hotel this stylish has any real right to be. The Hoxton, Amsterdam is set in a row of five classic canal houses, and, in the interest of preservation, follows their warren-like floor plans. But it brings to the Netherlands an aesthetic all its own, one that owes an obvious debt to industrial East London." - Mark Fedeli
