Hotel New York is a modern hotel and café-restaurant, international in scale, in the former headquarters of the Holland America Line. The hotel is situated in one of the most attractive spots in Rotterdam.

Hotel New York does not intend to look back nostalgically, rather it wants to bring to life, in its own special way, the hospitality and the elegance of travelling in the age of the big steamliners.

On the outside, the former head office of the Holland-Amerika Lijn has a cosmopolitan feel: its facade is symmetrical in design, with balconies, dormer windows, towers and decorations; the style to which most grand hotels built around 1880 adhered.

Hotel New York has 72 spacious rooms with high ceilings, including two tower rooms and a penthouse. All the rooms vary in shape, size and colour, are non-smoking, have heigh ceilings and most offer a view of the river. The former executive suites remained in a reasonable state of repair: rosewood and walnut panelling and an authentic carpet. Some of those rooms may be furnished as honeymoon rooms. Hotel New York does not include a minibar in the rooms, since the hotel offers a 24-hour room service. Breakfast is not included.

In addition, the building is magnificently situated, with views of the city's skyline, the harbour and the river - another precondition for a Grand Hotel. At night you can experience the peace and tranquillity of a hotel on the waterfront. From the building's many vantage points, you can watch the often spectacular sunsets, while the windows afford views of the clouds and city lights.

Hotel New York has two towers, both of which are hotelrooms. While 19th century hotels had carriages with a regular coachman, and later a limousine with chauffeur, this hotel offers the services of a watertaxi with skipper! This means you will be in the Veerhaven (old ferry harbour) directly opposite to the hotel in 5 minutes. If you prefer to be ferried to the towncentre, you can get off at Leuvehaven.

The hotel has a café-restaurant which seats 400 guests, where one can eat either à la carte, extensively or simply, in all price classes, from early in the morning to late at night. There is an oyster bar and tea salon.
A true meeting place for both locals and travellers, surrounded on all sides by river views, with the city accross the way.

The ground floor has a large café-restaurant which seats 400 guests, where one can eat either à la carte, extensively or simply, from a simple tomato-basil soup to a delicious piece of lobster in creamsauce, from early in the morning to late at night.

Enjoy the sun at the terrace or in the park next to the hotel, where you can have a picknick during the summer!

This property is located on the Kop van Zuid, an area with imposing architecture, near to the centre of Rotterdam.

The famous Luxor Theatre is just a short stroll from the cafés and restaurants of the town centre and is just a short hop by water taxi from the hotel. Other attractions such as the football stadium De Kuip and the multi-purpose hall Ahoy are just 10 minutes by metro. Furthermore, the Euromast, Kunsthal (exhibition centre) and the Maritime Museum are also nearby and worth a trip.
