Four-star stay in the capital of cool

Hailed as the “capital of cool” by CNN, Rotterdam offers diverse culture and delicious cuisine. Overlooking the Maas river, everything about this four-star hotel is cool, too – the architect who designed it is even called Koolhaas. 

There are two trendy restaurants on site. The Elvy showcases global dishes with a Rotterdam twist, while the nhow Bar & Kitchen offers snacky street food. Cocktails are served at the terrace bar on the seventh floor, so you can sip something chilled as the sun goes down. If your head’s a little sore in the morning, breakfast can be brought to your room. 

You’ll be staying in modern rooms that are air-conditioned and have tea and coffee-making facilities, plus a TV. If you want to hire bikes, just ask at the 24/7 front desk, which is run by friendly English-speaking staff. Rather hop on the metro to make your way around? There’s a stop just a minutes’ walk away.

Find out more about Rotterdam City

Rotterdam city breaks offer an escape from the ordinary. From architectural rarities to surreal street art and alternative nightlife, this is a destination like no other. Cool to the core, it also offers plenty for shopaholics – lively Lijnbaan was the first pedestrianised shopping street in Europe. 

Much of Rotterdam had to be rebuilt after the Second World War, but some of its progressive pre-1940s highlights remain. A walk through the city centre takes in Mediaeval masterpieces, futuristic living concepts, and sky-high giants – it’s no surprise that the city is home to the International Architecture Biennale and the Netherlands Architecture Institute. 

Rotterdam’s buzzing heartland is the Cool District. Daytimes here are all about chic boutiques, edgy exhibitions, and funky cafés, while the nights come alive with bustling bars, global bites, and quirky theatre shows. Love dancing into the early hours? Clubs in the central Witte de Withkwartier area blast everything from avant-garde jazz to old school techno.  

Love-struck couples adore the Feijenoord district’s romantic blend of city views and trendy food – don’t miss the Fenix Food Factory – while the Noord district offers families park picnics, canal walks, and trips to the roaringly good Rotterdam Zoo.
