Calm city breaks this summer with Ruby Hotels

As Europe’s most popular coastal hotspots begin to fill up for the summer season, beaches quickly become packed with travellers chasing sunshine. Meanwhile, something quieter is happening elsewhere: Europe’s cities begin to slow down. Restaurants that are usually fully booked suddenly have space, museums can be enjoyed at a gentler pace, and green spaces feel more peaceful. It’s the perfect time to experience cities in a more relaxed, unhurried way. With brilliantly located properties in some of Europe’s most vibrant cities, Ruby Hotels is the ideal base to explore these calmer moments. From strolling through well-known neighbourhoods without the usual crowds to meandering around iconic cultural spots, everything is within easy reach. Each hotel also features Ruby’s signature experiences, including lively 24-hour bars, after-work DJ sets and music sessions, ensuring there’s always something to enjoy.

Where to stay for Europe's quieter city moments:
Ruby Emma, Amsterdam. Set along a bend of the Amstel, Ruby Emma offers a more relaxed side of Amsterdam. Guests can unwind on the hotel's terrace with a drink, while the bike hire service makes it easy to explore the city's historic canals at a gentler pace. With fewer crowds during the quieter months, visitors can take their time discovering the canal-side spots before returning to peaceful, unhurried evenings. Rooms from £90 per night, including breakfast.

Ruby Lotti, Hamburg. Located in Hamburg's historic newspaper district, Ruby Lotti brings a slower pace to the city. Just moments from the water, the hotel's waterfront terrace is ideal for coffee by day or cocktails in the evening as boats drift past. Its peaceful canal-side setting is one of Hamburg's hidden gems, perfect for enjoying relaxed walks. Rooms from £103 per night.

Ruby Mimi, Zurich. Housed in a former cinema, Ruby Mimi blends art nouveau elegance with nods to its cinematic past, including its own luxurious art deco-inspired movie lounge. Just a short walk from the Old Town and the city's leading shopping streets, the hotel is perfectly located for exploring Zurich's boutiques at a more relaxed pace during the quieter summer months. Rooms from £180 per night.
