“The Toren has expertly decorated rooms with a clear flair for style. Light is played with in ways we’d never seen, creating moods that change with the rising and setting of the sun. Our judges were particularly impressed by the seamless knowledge that the proud staff had of their city and the ingenious techniques the management used to train its staff, that constantly calibrated the minds of the staff to the emotional experience of their guests,” said Edward Gabbai, director and member of the jury of Boutique Hotel Awards. Other nominees included Hansar Hotel in Bangkok, Lydmar Hotel in Stockholm, The Arch in London and Tigerlily in Scotland. Earlier this year the Toren was awarded the prestigious awards of 2012 Trip Advisors Traveller’s Choice Award for Best Luxury and Best Service Hotel.  It was also voted top 10 most romantic hotels in the world by Readers Digest.

The Best City Boutique Hotel Award is an initiative of Boutique Hotel Awards in London. In an ever-shrinking world of globalized brands and international hotel chains, a truly individual experience is a rare find. However, there are a number of hidden gems around the world, which retain their individuality through their small size and keen sense of style and culture. The Boutique Hotel Awards look to provide such establishments with the acclaim and reward that they so dearly deserve, championing hotels that possess a unique character whilst still providing world-class services and facilities.

Since 2011 hotels are awarded in different categories: Best Beach Hotel, Best City Hotel, Best Classic Hotel, Best Design Hotel, Best Dining Hotel, Best Honeymoon Hotel, Best New Hotel and Best Spa Hotel. This year there were over 300 nominees from 35 countries.

The Toren Hotel is a hidden gem in the center of Amsterdam. The Toren is prominently placed amongst the grand 17th century canal houses of the Keizergracht. The design boutique hotel is not named after the near by Wester Church “Westertoren” but after its owners, Petra and Eric Toren. Together they manage The Toren with the philosophy that each guest should experience a luxury “at home” feeling. The Toren has 38 rooms, including the recently finished exclusive Executive Suites in the garden and two Special Deluxe rooms with Canal View. There is a lovely breakfast lounge, a smoking lounge and a stylish bar. Business guest can use the executive meeting room upon request.

The largest European travel community, Trivago, chooses the privately run Hotel OTTO in Berlin-Charlottenburg as the best design hotel in Berlin. Taken from more than 150,000 guest reviews on design hotels in Berlin, the stylish Hotel OTTO wins with the highest overall ranking of the reviews and is as of now at the top of the list of Berlin’s best design hotels.

46 renovated and newly equipped rooms and suites offer modern comfort in urban design. The OTTO concept was developed by the well-known creative consultants “Kessler + Kessler” from Zurich. Absolute highlight of the modern boutique hotel is the breakfast lounge “Etage07” on the top floor of the hotel with adjacent sun terrace and fantastic views over Berlin’s rooftops. Chic Arper armchairs, chairs and tables, light cream tones, paired with prominent anthracite and colour accents in fuchsia award the lounge with timeless style.

The modern rooms offer functional comfort and contemporary design: the fabrics of the trendy Arper armchairs are taken from the series “small dots” by Charles and Ray Eames. Various Tolomeo lamps smartly light up the generous rooms. From the desk light, to the reading lamp over the bed up to the mobile standing light everything originates from the designseries by Artemide. The rooms are furnished with individually designed furniture from light wood.

Bright colour accents alternate with neutral colours. All materials have been produced by kvadrat, one of the top  design textiles manufacturers. Technical features at Hotel OTTO, like flat screen TVs in all rooms and free wireless internet in the entire hotel round off the offer.
