Rotterdam’s modern harbor skyline became even richer by the opening of new Design Hotels™ member, Mainport. The hotel, designed by MAS architectuur is characterised by a futuristic façade of black glass and aluminum. The hotel stands proud in the central district of Leuvehaven and reflects Rotterdam’s unique architectural aesthetic. Just as Rotterdam is a symbiosis of international influences and Dutch tradition, Mainport’s overall concept entwines the best cuisine, spa traditions and design from around the world, while placing an importance on Rotterdam as the hotel’s ‘main port’. Wellness is a recurring theme throughout the hotel.
In light of owner Karin Geurts’ vision for a hotel which functions as a landing place for travelers and locals alike, this light open-plan design warrants neighborhood integration through its inviting atmosphere.
