What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Housed in a former post office, this 38-room ‘non-hotel’ embraces bold color, eclectic interiors, and a distinctly local energy.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The eateries along West-Kruiskade sit around the corner, and Rotterdam Centraal station is a short walk away.
The rooms
Turntables sit beside midcentury lounge chairs, and bathrooms are fitted with recycled plastic terrazzo vanities.
At the table
The morning buffet lays out pastries from Sharp Sharp and Giraffe coffee. Later, Supper serves drinks and bar bites.
How it began
The founders named the hotel after the Oasis song Champagne Supernova before converting the 1906 corner building.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
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.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
