"For a vibrant and decidedly hip stay, look no further than the 25Hours Langstrasse in Zurich (there's a second location as well: 25hours Hotel Zurich West), a nice counterpoint to the city’s classic five-star hotels. While it took a minute for the neighborhood in which it’s situated to catch on to the cool factor (Langstrasse maintains its grit), the area really oozes with energy. The same can be said inside the hotel, where urban, cheeky splashes of color and bold artwork light up the senses. Room categories are anything but standard: choose from Medium, Large, and Extra Large rooms, and relish nostalgic details like rotary phones. Live your best life while staying at 25Hours by taking advantage of the complimentary Volvo EX30 rental for exploring the city beyond your two feet. The hotel also partners with Berlin-based boutique bike maker Schindelhauer for those who prefer cycling in style. Return in time for a Mediterranean-leaning dinner in NENI Restaurant’s lively, glass-walled space. Locals actually come here to eat, which is always a good sign." - Stacey Lastoe
