Sir Adam Hotel

Have you ever stayed in a boutique hotel which provides a vast vinyl library in the lobby where you can select your favourite LPs to play on your very own in-room record player? No, me neither!

The Sir Adam hotel is known as a mecca for lovers of both music and culture, with every detail of the residence inspired in some way by music. Alongside the turntable, you’ll find each room contains a wall mounted Gibson electric guitar and music themed artworks featuring iconic faces like Bob Dylan and Mick Jagger, which really give the space a rock ‘n’ roll feel (especially if you blare out some Patti Smith on the record player like I did for most of my stay)!

I opted for the Sir Deluxe city view, which includes floor to ceiling windows providing unparalleled views across the river and the historic city centre. I also loved the touch of including a pair of binoculars on the dressing table so you can look out at the boats passing by. The industrial room design made for a fantastic two-night stay and was still spacious despite a huge king-sized bed (which even comes with its own pillow menu)! You can select from a range of room styles from the Sir Boutique, which is equipped with all the essentials, all the way up to their panoramic corner rooms and suites.

The hotel is situated in the vibrant A’DAM Tower, a 1970’s skyscraper which has been transformed into a hub for artists and new media. As well as housing the hotel, it’s home to ‘Sony’ and ‘MassiveMusic’, whilst the lobby hosts a delicious burger joint and the rooftop bar provides 360-degree views of the city as well as Europe’s highest swing! As the hotel sits across the water from the city centre you can jump on one of the very frequent free ferries, which run 24 hours a day and only take around five minutes to cross over to the other bank.

The Sir Adam sets the stage for a truly unique stay with its excellent mix of quirkiness and style. So, kick back and enjoy!
