With that Hoxton countdown come a few more snaps from inside the hotel � up top what we think is a r

We said last week that Amsterdam was having a hotel moment, and the race between two of its biggest arrivals this year, only a few minutes� walk between them, is officially on. The Hoxton was first with a select few photos of some its very handsome rooms projected for �summer� this year. The W countered with a slew of renderings and a �September� opening.
Both have been withholding reservations so far, but The Hoxton has gone out and put the countdown right on its website, with now less than 50 days until bookings open . In fact, unless our math is way off, reservations should open on April 1 . We�ll assume that�s not a joke, and further assume that The Hoxton will open first and at cheaper rates, unless the W pulls a rabbit out of a hat (on the rates front, we don�t think that will ever happen).
With that Hoxton countdown come a few more snaps from inside the hotel � up top what we think is a rendering of a room quite a bit smaller than the first photo we saw here . Above a close up of the desk in the larger room; we love the Vermeer blue as always, but if the hangers you can see just at the top right are the only �closet� space, then that will be tight. You bet we will report on rates come April 1.
