You'll get a real taste of inner-city Rotterdam life when staying at these sleek apartments in the centre of town. Scattered over 15 floors of a recently constructed high-rise building, there are 76 generously sized apartments – many with impressive views. The Alessi interior fitouts have a sternly minimalist decor but are very comfortable, offering couches, dining tables and well-equipped kitchens.

A two-night minimum stay applies; maid service is provided every three days. Parking costs €24 per 24 hours. No breakfast, but there are plenty of cafes in the immediate area.
