What is CitizenM?
CitizenM, founded in 2008, revolutionized the hotel industry with their unique “affordable luxury” concept. The name stands for “Mobile Citizen,” reflecting their focus on modern travelers who want style and comfort without unnecessary frills. Starting with their first hotel at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, CitizenM has expanded globally with properties in major cities across Europe, Asia, and North America.
What sets CitizenM apart is their innovative approach: smartly designed rooms with luxury touches like XL king beds, wall-to-wall windows, and iPad-controlled amenities. Their hotels feature vibrant living room-style lobbies, 24/7 canteenM, and modern art collections – all while maintaining reasonable prices through efficient design and technology.
