Art Hotel Rotterdam is a 271-room, four-star high-rise hotel at Mijnsherenlaan 9, 3081 GA Rotterdam, in the Maashaven district of Rotterdam-Zuid on the south bank of the Nieuwe Maas. Its colorful, art-led interiors, in-house restaurant Mio Papa and fireplace lounge draw design-minded travelers, while the Maashaven metro stop next door puts the city center ten minutes away.
What to Expect at Art Hotel Rotterdam
The hotel occupies a contemporary tower on the Maashaven side of the river, and the upper-floor rooms are the reason many guests choose it: windows frame the Maas River and the Rotterdam skyline, including the cranes of the port and the bridges downstream. Room categories on the official site include the Standard Twin Room, with two single beds across 26 square meters, and the Standard Single Room. Both come with free WiFi, a flatscreen TV and a private bathroom with a rain shower, which keeps the formula simple and the focus on the views and the location.
Downstairs, the public spaces carry the hotel’s art-and-color identity. Mio Papa serves a continental breakfast in the morning and international dishes in the evening, and the lounge pairs coffee and drinks with an open fireplace, which makes it a welcome retreat on cold, windy Rotterdam days. The hotel’s own Rotterdam page, gallery and facilities sections are worth a look before booking, since room and package options change by season.
- River and skyline views: Higher-floor rooms look across the Nieuwe Maas toward the city skyline, a strong draw at sunrise and after dark when the towers light up.
- Mio Papa restaurant: A stylish dining room serving a world-cuisine menu, with breakfast included in many rates and international specialties at dinner.
- Fireplace lounge: A cozy lounge for coffee or an evening drink beside the fire, popular for unwinding after a day of sightseeing.
- Maashaven metro access: The station sits right next to the hotel, with Rotterdam city center about 10 minutes away and The Hague roughly 35 minutes away.
- Maassilo across the street: The converted grain silo, now an events and nightlife venue, is directly opposite, with Rotterdam Ahoy just one metro stop away.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Maashaven metro station is next door, and the metro reaches the center in about ten minutes, so the hotel works as a base without needing a car. Book directly through the hotel’s website to compare room types, and request a higher floor when reserving if the river view matters to you. If you are arriving by car, confirm parking arrangements in advance, since city-center streets in Rotterdam have paid, regulated parking. Rooms on the standard categories are compact at 26 square meters for a twin, so travelers with bulky luggage should keep that in mind. Ask the hotel directly about step-free access, lift availability and adapted rooms before booking.
The surroundings reward a short walk. The Maassilo, directly across from the hotel, hosts concerts, club nights and events in a repurposed grain silo, and the Maashaven harbor area has a working-waterfront feel. Rotterdam Ahoy, the city’s major arena and convention complex, is one metro stop away, which makes the hotel practical for concerts, trade fairs and sporting events. Within ten minutes by metro you reach the Markthal, the Cube Houses and the Erasmus Bridge, while a 35-minute metro and train link connects you to The Hague.
