Hotels often have a bad reputation for being boring and basic. The clinical white bedsheets, cream walls and unimaginative artwork makes the room feel bland. However, many hoteliers now understand that unique design is a way to stand out from the crowd and gives their guests incentive to return. It makes travel far more exciting when your hotel, as well as your destination, is worth the trip.
So, let me ask you a question. Have you ever stayed at a hotel and wanted to to create the same look in your home? I know I have! Below, I have rounded up 7 stunning European hotels and given you the tools to recreate the look yourselves.
1. Swan House apartments, Reykjavik, Iceland
The chic design of the Swan house features a mixture of Scandi and rustic influences. They made the Swan House with hardwood floors, high-quality beds and beautiful accessories. All apartments are tastefully furnished for comfort and relaxation.
Myself and my boyfriend will be staying here for a few days next March and I’m super excited about it!

I think the last one is my favourite in terms of decor, but overall I tend to prefer more classic styles than everything looking so crisp x

I love it when hotels give a little extra care to their interior decor. I’m usually tired of the standard white sheets and all. I love all of these hotel’s interior decor! My favorite has to be Hotel Bikini – you get a nice view PLUS the hammock! How cool is that?!
Nancy ♥ exquisitely.me
These are some seriously stylish hotels! I recently stayed in the whackiest hotel ever, the decor was a far cry from these (although I secretly LOVED it). But I’d love these sort of styles in my own house xxx
I love the look of these hotels! They’re so homey and look comfortable. I wish I was traveling around Europe to experience these hotels!
