I have heard recently of a new luxury hotel concept called CitizenM.  This new hotel brand will have all the latest in room technology with all the facilities that a good hotel needs to have. But at affordable prices.

CitizenM claims that their rooms will be for the "mobile citizens of the world" said the video presentation of this new kind of hotels. Guests will apparently enjoy free wifi as well as free movies on demand. The room ambiance and lights will be controlled by the Philips in-room remove control.

The first hotel in developmment is in Amsterdam Schiphol Airport which aims at welcoming their first guests early 2008. The online booking engine will be opened to the public on the 31st October.

I will check a bit later to see at which rates these rooms will be sold at. I am quite excited about this new hotel concept. After Yotel, it looks like another innovative project.

Katie from Shiny Shiny went to experience the concept room at the Philips Simplicity Event at London’s Earls Court this week. Check out her video. Katie says that rooms could start at €70.
