Mainport Design Hotel *****

The Mainport Design Hotel is an ideal place to spend the night when you Rotterdam. The location is perfect, the views from most rooms on the harbor side are fantastic. An why not, book a room with your own private sauna… when can you do that? It is worth the extra Euro’s.

For sure, there are other nice hotel but the Mainport’s location is just perfect. It is an easy walk to the covered market the “Markthal” a must visit. Another must do is the water taxi. Just take it (leaving every 15 minutes) and take a tour over the Nieuwe Waterweg, the main river connecting the inland with the sea. You can plan your trip on the water taxi website. As you might know, Rotterdam is one of the largest harbors in the world. With the water taxi, you can book going to many different locations in Rotterdam. If you are on holiday, plan a day and go over the water. One of the places you should stop is the hotel New York for lunch or dinner. At the New York, the old days where people immigrated to America come alive again. The hotel was the former headquarter of the Holland America Line.

Now back to the hotel. The Mainport is a luxurious 5-star design hotel, offering spectacular views over the water and the skyline of Rotterdam. Each floor of the hotel, represents a different continent. As I said earlier, book on of the Waterfront Sauna Rooms or a Spa suite!

The hotel also offers great wellness. Spa Heaven located on the 8th floor, provides a total relaxation experience, offering a Finnish Panorama sauna, a Turkish steam bath, a hamam, treatment rooms and a lounge area for pre and post treatment tranquillity. Hotel guests have free access to Spa Heaven.
