Holland DMC Partners offers tailored DMC Rotterdam services around Van der Valk Hotel Rotterdam Blijdorp, bringing together transfers, meeting space, dining and team experiences for corporate and incentive groups.
Van der Valk Hotel Rotterdam Blijdorp stands on the Energieweg in the north-west of the city, immediately beside Diergaarde Blijdorp, the Rotterdam zoo, and runs its own shuttle service to and from Rotterdam The Hague Airport.
The hotel counts 189 rooms and suites, from comfort categories through to junior suites, alongside a modern wellness centre, a restaurant and a hotel bar. Being a short ride from the centre it keeps easy parking and coach access while putting the Erasmus Bridge, the Markthal and the Kop van Zuid within a few minutes.
For a group programme the zoo next door is an unusual asset, and Rotterdam's architecture, harbour tours and design district are all close at hand.
Van der Valk Hotel Rotterdam Blijdorp offers a set of meeting rooms sized for corporate work rather than mass congresses, including a dedicated boardroom and rooms fitted with presentation screens.
With 189 bedrooms above the meeting floor, a residential meeting or a multi-day incentive can be run from a single building, and the restaurant, bar and wellness centre handle the evening and the downtime.
The airport shuttle and the position just off the ring make this an efficient base for delegations flying into Rotterdam The Hague Airport, with the city centre a short transfer away.
The exact number of meeting rooms and the per-setup capacities are being confirmed with the hotel and have deliberately been left out rather than estimated.
