What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
In a 1938 Bauhaus monument… Morgan & Mees offers a stay that keeps things simple without feeling bare.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Mathenesserlaan is a quiet, tree-lined avenue, with the cafes and independent shops of Nieuwe Binnenweg just around the corner.
The rooms
Dark wood paneling lines the high-ceilinged rooms, and select categories have freestanding oval bathtubs.
Restaurant
MIES
Striped booths sit under fluted glass panels, and the tiled bar serves drinks beside backlit bottle shelves.
How it began
Regional broadcaster TV Rijnmond once ran studios here, and its station logo is still visible on the side facade.
