Generator Amsterdam 

On March 16, the doors at Mauritskade 57, a historical brick building built in 1908 as the University of Amsterdam's science department, reopen as the only upscale hostel in the city. Inspired by the building's history and Oosterpark location, Generator maintained the scholastic and scientific aesthetics while modernizing the spaces with playful graphics and pops of color to create a labyrinth of sprawling amenities. The core social space, Nescio, named after a famous Dutch writer, includes:

• Café, serving locally-sourced menu.  
• Auditorium, featuring the original lecture-style seating and a professor's desk repurposed as a central bar with reclaimed laboratory beakers.
• Library, retaining its original wood heritage elements that pay homage to its initial function.
• Underground speakeasy-like bar located in the building's former boiler room.
• Luxury Sky Suite Apartment, including two bedrooms, kitchen, living room, and TV.

Generator Stockholm and Rome 

Generator joins Stockholm's city center in the heart of Europe's Silicon Valley at 10 Torsgatan in June. The 11-floor property is near Central Station and Drottninggatan, a bustling pedestrian thoroughfare that runs through downtown Stockholm. Generator will be providing the first hip hangout for guests and locals in its immediate neighborhood through unique accommodations and social spaces including a lobby-café, a stand-alone bar and restaurant, meeting and events spaces, and luxury suites.

Also in summer, Generator's arrival in Rome will disrupt the Eternal City's hostel and boutique hotel scene with its upscale shared accommodations. The property is centrally located on Via Principe Amedeo near Mercato dell'Esquilino and the Roman Colosseum.
