Generator & Freehand Hotels

Started out in 1995 as a brother and sister partnership in London and Berlin, Generator is on a journey. We are now a leading global lifestyle accommodation brand. Not like any other hostel - we combine affordable luxury rooms with unique social events for the travellers and locals of Europe's coolest cities. After starting out in London you can now find us in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Copenhagen, Dublin, Hamburg, London, Rome, Stockholm, Venice, Paris, Madrid, Washington D.C. and Miami.

We’re here for the explorers and the thrill seekers, for people looking for a little peace and quiet and the ones who can’t wait to discover something new. We’ve got it all, from comfy places to rest your head, to spaces for you to party and connect with likeminded travellers and backpackers alike. All properties are unique, with architecture, interiors, decor and art all working together to create environments that are comfortable, cool and ideally suited to the modern traveller.

So, if you’re looking for an experience you’re sure to remember and want somewhere to stay in the best locations, with the ultimate cool factor, we’ve got plenty to show you.
