Schiphol Airport
Tech-forward design hotel with a strong conceptual art identity. Think pod-hotel efficiency meets a Soho creative office. Self-service check-in kiosks, mood lighting you can dial to any color, and a canteen where laptop workers coexist with bleary-eyed transit passengers at 3 a.m.
Request a high-floor, tarmac-view room when checking in — you get a great view of planes coming and going, and reviews say soundproofing holds up well
Why It Matters
One of the first airport hotels to genuinely reframe the category — citizenM proved you can build something design-forward, affordable, and still worth recommending at a major international hub. Now part of Marriott Bonvoy, so points are on the table too.
citizenM Schiphol is 355 rooms of deliberately compact, tech-forward design sitting a genuine 4-minute walk from Arrivals Hall 4. The rooms are small — around 14 sq.m. — but the XL king bed, rainfall shower, Italian linens, and a tablet that controls literally everything (lighting, blinds, TV, temperature) make the cramped footprint feel intentional rather than cheap. The ground floor is a proper communal living room, with Vitra furniture, curated art, bookshelves, and a 24/7 bar-restaurant, which means this feels nothing like a standard airport layover box.
Where You'll Stay
2 room types available
Accessible King Room
Same design and tech features as the standard king room, adapted for accessibility requirements. Deadbolt on door; full accessibility information available by calling +31 20-8117080. Elevators provide access to all floors.
XL King · 14 sqm
King Room
The only room type offered. Every room is identical in layout: compact at around 14 sq.m., but packed with an oversized king bed, wall-to-wall window, rainfall power shower, and a bedside tablet controlling everything from mood lighting to blackout blinds. Italian linens, flat-screen TV with Chromecast, laptop safe, hair dryer, and free high-speed Wi-Fi included. Soundproofing is genuinely good — multiple guests note they couldn't hear aircraft or corridor noise.

How you'll actually spend your days.
The entire ground floor is a communal living space with Vitra design furniture, bookshelves, art installations, cozy nooks for working, and dedicated work areas. Self-check-in kiosks, canteenM bar, and gift/toiletry shop also on this floor. Open to hotel guests and meeting room bookings.
citizenM's in-house art programme — conceptual works throughout the lobby, living room, corridors, and on the building's exterior facade. Art is selected to provoke ideas rather than just decorate walls.

All come stocked with a smart TV, AV equipment and cables, whiteboard walls, unlimited coffee/tea/water, stationery, and superfast Wi-Fi.
