What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
A contemporary hotel with a history dating back to 1922, situated in the heart of modern Rotterdam.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Westersingel canal runs out front, while the Museumpark and Witte de Withstraat's bars sit just around the corner.
The rooms
Tower rooms look out over Rotterdam's skyline, and corner rooms have curved glass windows.
The gym and sauna
A mirrored fitness room sits in the basement, steps from a hot stone sauna and an infrared cabin.
The Bistro-Bar
The kitchen prepares contemporary comfort food, and drinks are poured at a tufted counter beneath hanging glassware.
At the table
Breakfast brings regional cheeses and honey from a local beekeeper, and summer lunches spread onto the courtyard lawn.
How it began
Original oil paintings from the 1865 villa survived the 1940 Rotterdam Blitz and still hang across the lobby and bar.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
