Youthful and chic in equal measure, canal-side Miss Blanche is one sassy chick when it comes to stylish sleeping. Each of the 46 suites – scattered across a handful of nearby historic buildings – are individually designed, many with romantic canal view. Decor is quietly contemporary, with eye-catching art works. Some superior suites and apartments, sleeping up to six, have kitchenette and dining area.
