A hotel made up of pods offers a low-cost, high-design alternative in Amsterdam's financial district.
Qbic hotel rooms owe their futuristic look to the Cubi, a cube-shaped state-of-the-art living space. Each Cubi features a practical set-up: an extra long handmade Hästens bed, Philippe Starck–designed bathroom elements, an LCD TV, safe and high-speed Internet, and a work-and-dining set. According to the hotel, you can even change the color of your Cubi depending on your mood: “Mellow Yellow, Red Romance or Deep Purple Love.”

Qbic Hotels employ an easy to use self-service check in terminal, which dispense room keys. The Grab & Go Corner provides vending machines with homemade food from local bakeries and caterers, beverages, and a range of amenities.
The Qbic Hotel in Amsterdam is located in the World Trade Center, in the middle of the financial district and economic heart of Amsterdam. The World Trade Center is a city on its own, offering a full range of facilities, for anything that the pod itself doesn’t supply.
