Hotel Rumour / Studio Modijefsky

Hotel Rumour: a beguiling destination where anything can happen. As the oldest structure in Leiden, dating back to 1060, the Burcht van Leiden castle is one of the most evocative places in the city. Just down the hill is a carriage house that dates back to 1657. Studio Modijefsky has brought this humble building into the 21st century as Hotel Rumour: a vibrant social hub that can host everything from lively dinners to intimate drinks, private gatherings and dance nights – anything, in fact, apart from a sleepover. Despite the vitrine in the hallway that sells gift shop staples like bathrobes and keychains, this isn't really a hotel. It's all part of an elaborate personality created by Studio Modijefsky, who worked on everything from the name and brand identity to the merchandise and postcards.
