Welcome to the hotel of the future, citizen Cheapo! The citizenM offers a whopping 215 rooms with a trendy, technology-infused ambiance that will thrill you if you like to control your whole world—from TV to A/C—with your fingertips and a remote control. The hotel’s location, in Amsterdam's leafy Zuid-Amstel neighborhood, feels a touch removed from the action. If you don't mind that, and especially if you're good on two wheels, the technophile in you will love this hotel.

Rooms are decked out with satellite television, mood lighting and air conditioning that seeps through the walls—all of it controlled through a remote pad at your fingertips. Other high-tech perks include free Wi-Fi and complimentary movies on demand.

High-tech showers and toilet "pods" are stationed in the middle of guestrooms. No, that last line was not a typo. CitizenM's toilets and showers are housed in futuristic pod-like spaces that open and close at the push of a button. The shower even turns off automatically if you step away. If you find this a tad disconcerting, you might want to move on to something more standard.

There's a Mac computer room in the lobby, plus a café offering a wide variety of snacks and juices. The décor is sleek and unapologetically contemporary, with a chic color scheme of reds and blacks.

All these high-tech features means rooms can sometimes soar outside of cheapo range. However, there are deals to be had here, which can make this hotel a great pick when the price is right.

Museums & Vondelpark

The most popular neighborhood outside the city center, the Museumplein is a residential area crowded with museums, parks and 19th-century buildings. The Rijksmuseum possesses an impressive collection of Dutch paintings from the 15th through the 17th centuries (including an enormous Rembrandt collection), the Van Gogh Museum is (surprise) devoted to Van Gogh, and the Stedelijk Museum houses modern and contemporary art. Meanwhile, the nearby Concertgebouw offers world class concerts at reasonable ticket prices.

The vast green space that is Vondelpark was the celebrated playground of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll in the 1970s. Today, however, Museumplein & Vondelpark is an upscale commercial area, full of pricey little boutiques and shops.

Sleeping near the museums and Vondelpark is a great option for travelers who expect to spend a lot of time taking in the city's art, concert, and shopping options. The area is a quick tram ride straight south through the city center from the central train station, while most of the city's main tourist sights can be reached by foot.
