Tired of hotels and hostels? Want to explore Europe differently? Why not take to the waters instead! Boat hotels are a quirky accommodation option for those who want something unique. There are hundreds of boat hotels to pick from. Just find one that floats your boat – pun fully intended! In the meantime, here are some of the coolest boat hotels to stay in Europe for inspiration.
Sunborn London Yacht Hotel, London
Would you like a whole houseboat to yourself? How about staying on a luxurious yacht in London? You’ll find this stunning vessel at the Royal Victoria Dock which means you’re only a few steps away from some of London's best attractions. The guest rooms are luxuriously furnished and you’ll find some of the best food at their Sundown Bar and Lands End Restaurant.
Modern Boat Berlin, Berlin
The Modern Boat Berlin is a true showstopper, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows overlooking the gorgeous Lake Rummelsburg. There’s a wood burner for chilly nights or a deck if you visit in the warmer months. It has all the modern amenities you’d expect from a vacation rental, but it’s floating on the water. What could be better than that?! You’re also just 15 minutes away from Berlin's city center.
Houseboat Suite Westertoren, Amsterdam
Want to be right in the action of Amsterdam? With some of the best views to boot? If so, you’ll want to check out the Houseboat Suite Westertoren. Located on Prinsengracht (Prince’s Canal), you’ll be able to see Anne Frank’s house and the Westerkerk church from your comfy houseboat hotel. You’ll also find a tram stop nearby that has connections to everywhere you could want to visit in Amsterdam!
