Hotel New York, Art Nouveau hotel at Wilhelminapier, Netherlands.
Hotel New York is an Art Nouveau building on Wilhelminapier with two distinctive towers and roughly 72 guest rooms. The spaces offer views across the Maas River and Rotterdam's working port.
The building was constructed in 1917 as the headquarters of Holland America Line, one of the era's major shipping companies. After the shipping company's decline, it was transformed into a hotel and has remained a landmark of the port city ever since.
The building represents Rotterdam's deep connection to the sea and maritime trade, which remains visible in its waterfront position today. Its spaces echo this relationship with the water, allowing visitors to experience how central the port has always been to the city's identity.
The hotel sits on Wilhelminapier and can be reached by public transport, including the Wilhelminaplein metro station and the nearby Erasmus Bridge. Visitors should note that the waterfront location means strong winds can affect how the views are experienced.
Two rooms tucked inside the towers offer 360-degree views of the port that guests in other rooms cannot see. These special spaces let you watch the harbor's activity from a completely different vantage point.
