Rotterdam’s skyline and hospitality scene welcome back a refreshed icon with the reopening of the DoubleTree by Hilton Rotterdam Centre. Following a comprehensive renovation in the summer of 2025, the upscale hotel introduces modern guest rooms, dynamic event spaces, and a new restaurant concept, positioning itself as a leading choice for international meetings, business events, and memorable stays along the Maas River.
The 265 fully renovated rooms combine sleek design with thoughtful amenities and panoramic views of either the Maas River or Rotterdam’s striking skyline. The mix includes 150 Guest Rooms, 102 Deluxe Rooms, and 13 Junior Suites, with the larger categories offering espresso machines for added convenience. All rooms feature complimentary Wi-Fi and contemporary design touches, ensuring comfort for both business and leisure guests.
On the ground floor, the hotel introduces dō deli bar bistro, a new all-day restaurant concept inspired by European café culture. With a focus on artisanal baking and social connection, dō deli serves everything from light lunches and coffee with house-made pastries to evening drinks and dinners—all with river views. Guests can also enjoy an extensive breakfast buffet each morning, a 24/7 Mini Market with snacks and essentials, and a Starbucks corner in the lobby.
For business and events, DoubleTree by Hilton Rotterdam Centre offers three distinctive meeting spaces, all with natural light and sweeping city and river views. The 16th-floor panoramic hall spans 375 m² and can host up to 260 guests theater-style, 250 for gala dinners, or be divided into five smaller rooms. Two boardrooms and a reception area on the 15th floor complete the facilities, while larger conferences can seamlessly expand into the adjacent Haven Hotel Rotterdam’s meeting spaces.
Wellness and fitness are also part of the experience. On the 8th floor, a modern fitness center with skyline views features treadmills, ellipticals, and a broad range of weights, creating an inspiring setting for workouts.
The hotel sits at the foot of the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam’s Maritime District, an area steeped in history. Once known as Waterstad, this is where Rotterdam began its rise as an international port four centuries ago. Over the decades, the area has evolved from stately harbor quarter to cultural hub, and the DoubleTree property itself carries a unique architectural lineage—from the Maasgebouw built in 1989 in the style of a cruise ship, to the Panorama Tower added in 2006, to the adjoining five-star hotel completed in 2013. Since joining the Hilton portfolio in 2023, the property has been reimagined and now emerges as a modern dual-branded destination, alongside Haven Hotel Rotterdam, Curio Collection by Hilton.
With its prime location—within walking distance of the Markthal, Kunsthal, Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, Nieuwe Luxor Theater, and the lively Kop van Zuid district—the DoubleTree by Hilton Rotterdam Centre is both locally connected and globally accessible. Leuvehaven metro station is steps away, Central Station is just 10 minutes by metro or taxi, and Schiphol Airport is reachable in 45 minutes. For those arriving by water, the Rotterdam Water Taxi stops right at the hotel’s door.
Blending business convenience, culinary flair, and sweeping city views, the DoubleTree by Hilton Rotterdam Centre redefines upscale hospitality in the heart of Rotterdam—welcoming international travelers, local diners, and event planners to one of the city’s most striking riverside addresses.
