Rotterdam


The 248 rooms in this hotel (pronounced 'now') are as sleek and minimalist as the Rem Koolhaas tower in which they reside. The best are those in the 'Premium Skyline' category, which are spacious and have huge windows overlooking the Maas. Facilities include a 7th-floor cocktail bar with terrace, a restaurant and a gym. Breakfast costs €20; parking €25.
