I couldn't agree more.

In terms of a chain that actually does a good job of designing the interiors for a younger demographic, while keeping the costs low, I don't think anyone does it better than CitizenM. I've stayed at their hotels in Glasgow, London and Amsterdam and they're really fantastic. I know people in Glasgow who go there just to get a coffee or drink, much like people go the Ace Hotel. I suspect that the hotel market here is going to reach saturation soon with all the new rooms coming online, but I would love to see CitizenM open here.
