Rotterdam hotels fit for a rock star

If you feel like it’s time to escape the ordinary, we’ve found five luxurious hotels in Rotterdam where you can live the high life.

Room Mate Bruno

Room Mate Bruno is a boutique hotel decorated in stylish monochromatic colour palettes that add a bold and unique vibrance to your stay. The ultra-modern interiors stand in stark contrast to the centuries-old building that once housed a Dutch East India Company warehouse. During your stay, you can see some of the most iconic buildings in the city, with the Kubuswoningen just an 18-minute walk from here.

Suitehotel Pincoffs

If you’re looking for a touch of English-inspired luxury in the heart of Rotterdam, Suite Hotel Pincoffs is the place for you. With tall ceilings, a gas fireplace, luxurious Egyptian cotton towels and a free-standing English bathtub, this award-winning boutique hotel offers a beautiful blend of tradition and comfort. If the decor isn’t enough to entice you, the hotel has even been awarded the Green Key Gold for its sustainability efforts. They’re also a proud sponsor of the Floating Forest in Rotterdam Rijnhaven, an unmissable landmark within a walking distance of the hotel.

Mainport Design Hotel

Mainport Design Hotel is nestled on the banks of the River Maas, boasting a private jetty and a waterfront spa suite. Wake up to the views of the yacht-peppered harbour, tuck into a hearty breakfast at the in-house restaurant, and pamper yourself throughout the day in the spacious oval Jacuzzi, walk-in shower and Finnish sauna. If you’re in the mood for a romantic evening, retire to the adjoining bedroom complete with a cozy king-size bed and a fireplace.

Rotterdam Marriott Hotel

The Marriott’s Presidential Suite is the largest in Rotterdam. And if the 170-square-metre room isn’t enough, you have the option to extend the space with one or two extra bedrooms – each with its own ensuite bathrooms. Sitting on the 12th floor, the suite has a beautiful view over the Rotterdam skyline and the grand entrance of Rotterdam Centraal. VIP guests can also indulge in the premium offers of the M Club Lounge that serves up complimentary hot breakfast and evening drinks with hors d’oeuvres.

The James Rotterdam

The James is all about sleek and contemporary chic, offering a level of luxury perfect for a quick staycation or a week-long break. The rooms are elegantly styled with a green, yellow and black colour scheme, trendy furniture and plush beds you’ll sink right into. Spend your day lounging in your room or head out and explore the city – freshly baked bread, cheeses and deli meats are just a 600-metre stroll away at the foodie hot-spot Markthal Rotterdam. Once you’ve refuelled with local and international treats, head over to the vibrant streets of Coolsingel (the Cool district) nearby, dotted with hip hang-outs and gorgeous art galleries.
