Adding another string to its bow of accommodation options for visitors to the city, Chic & Basic hotel in Borne is a worthy addition to the franchise. Finished in a similar manner to its siblings in Amsterdam and Madrid, the hotel offers a tried and tested approach to lodging in style. Compulsively clinical, pure white furnishings decorate the interior, producing a fabulously neat and consistent environment. The interior stands in stark contrast to the style and history of the building, constructed on the turn of the 19th century. High ceilings and grand staircases still remain, albeit serviced by the Chic & Basic theme.

If you have the courage to step onto the premises and risk messing with the cleanliness and purity, you will be welcomed by down to earth service and a reassuringly calm base to set your bags down and explore the plethora of sites, restaurants and bars in close proximity. On the ground floor of the hotel, there also lays The White Bar, a popular little cocktail joint, holding its own in a neighbourhood where drinkers are spoilt for choice.
