Suite Hotel Pincoffs

Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Suite Hotel Pincoffs

Jump to:

An intimate boutique on Rotterdam’s waterfront, the Suite Hotel Pincoffs combines personal service with an excellent location. The hotel is housed in an old customs building, now a national monument, that has a chic and stylish feel. Off the welcoming lobby is a lounge, where you’ll find a wood stove, comfortable leather sofas, a piano in the corner and a small bar. Off the opposite side of the lobby is a small library with books, armchairs and a computer. 

The hotel is named for Lodewijk Pincoffs, a controversial businessman who was an integral part of making Rotterdam what it is today — he founded the group that funded the project that built Rotterdam’s well-known ports. However, he eventually fell from the city’s graces when his fraudulent business methods were discovered, and he fled to the United States. He was eventually accepted for his contributions to the city and his name is still infamous around town today.

There are only 17 rooms in the hotel, all of which feature clean, chic designs.

OUR OPINION:

We love this hotel for its intimate number of rooms and personal service, as well as its nod to Rotterdam’s historical side.
