An Inside Look at the Nellie Design Concept. Why compromise on style when traveling as a group? Nellie is redefining group accommodation by placing a premium on aesthetics, comfort, and intelligent spatial utilization.

Bridging the Gap Between Budget and Luxury

Our creative team, led by Frederique Keuning (Co-founder of Spaces), has meticulously developed a product that bridges the vast chasm between impersonal budget hostels and traditional luxury hotels. We believe that traveling together should be an effortless and beautiful experience.

Nellie’s design language blends refined Scandinavian simplicity with an inviting warmth, ensuring that every guest feels a sense of ease. Our rooms are thoughtfully engineered to support groups of all sizes, featuring flexible configurations from single occupancy to 8-person "Family & Friends" rooms that remain calm, open, and entirely uncluttered.


A Scalable Ecosystem for Developers

For contractors and developers, the Nellie concept offers a sophisticated, modular "kit of parts" that prioritizes both high-end guest experience and efficient construction. This design-led approach ensures that every square meter of the property is utilized to its full potential. Beyond the rooms, our vibrant, multifunctional lobbies serve as the heart of the hotel—vibrant spaces designed for dining, working, or sharing a drink. By creating an environment that feels bespoke yet operates with the efficiency of a scalable system, we ensure that Nellie is not only a joy for guests but also a highly practical and profitable blueprint for our development partners to execute.
