Hotel New York Rotterdam is a 4-star landmark hotel on the tip of the Wilhelminapier at Kop van Zuid, housed in the former headquarters of the Holland America Line. It is arguably the most recognisable building in the city, and for incentive groups it carries a genuine story: this is the quay from which tens of thousands of emigrants sailed for New York.
The red-brick Jugendstil building sits directly on the water beside the Erasmus Bridge, with the city centre a short water-taxi ride across the Maas. No two rooms are alike — the twin roof towers and the former directors' offices have all been converted into guest rooms.
Rooms and facilities
- Guest rooms: 72, all individually shaped and furnished, including two Tower Rooms and a suite with a private roof terrace
- Dining: ground-floor cafe-restaurant seating up to 400 guests, a specialist oyster bar, and NY Basement cocktail bar
- Location: Kop van Zuid, beside the Erasmus Bridge and the Nederlands Fotomuseum
- Distance to Schiphol: approximately 65 km
Hotel New York Rotterdam has 7 event rooms, all with high ceilings and period detail — a distinctive alternative to a standard hotel meeting floor, and well suited to board-level meetings and celebration dinners.
Meetings & events
- Event rooms: 7 — Balszaal, Blauwe Zaal, Bibliotheek, Tuschinski I, NY Basement and the Directievertrek rooms Reuchlin and Plate
- Largest room: the Balszaal, up to approximately 125–150 guests, with views over the Maas and the Euromast
- Smallest room: Directievertrek Reuchlin, up to 20 guests
- Character: historic rooms with high ceilings, daylight and harbour views
Per-room, per-setup capacities are confirmed with the hotel on request.
