- Hotel New York is an imposing historic building in an unparalleled riverfront location. There are 72 large, white-on-white guest rooms, a smart cocktail bar and a choice of restaurants. A 1901-built city landmark with Art Deco touches.
Rotterdam, the Netherlands' second-largest city, offers a stark contrast to Amsterdam's medieval charm with its bold, modern skyline and progressive approach to architecture. Almost completely flattened during WWII, the city has emerged as a showcase for innovative urban design, with a youthful, forward-thinking energy in both private and public spaces. The best places to stay in Rotterdam reflect this dynamic spirit, perfect for well-heeled travellers and fans of cutting-edge design.
Amble around Rotterdam to absorb the city’s lively atmosphere, and it’s impressive efforts to redesign and rebuild. The small district of Delftshaven, which predates the Second World War and promises pretty cafés and delis in heritage edifices, offers an interesting insight into the character of the area’s past — and puts the present into perspective. Delve into Rotterdam’s sea-faring heritage at the The Maritime Museum and the Maritime Museum Harbour, as well as the discovering the site from which pilgrims began their journeys to the Americas. The Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, with its impressive collection of works by the likes of Vermeer, Monet, Van Gogh, Degas, and Dali, is not to be missed; nor is the vibrant Blaak Market, brimming with both fresh produce and antique curios.
Venture beyond Rotterdam’s city centre to discover peaceful Tuin Schoonoord Park, to marvel at the 19 UNESCO World Heritage-listed windmills or Kinderdijk or to follow cycling and rambling trails between fields and farms. Return to the city for buzzing evenings of great food and drink, both at the best places to stay in Rotterdam, and at a burgeoning number of hip bars and eateries. You’re certainly set for a weekend to remember!
