Description
The New York Hotel is located in the beautiful old headquarters of Holland America Line, also known as "The Grand Old Lady". This office was built in the Jugendstil style in 1901, in the center of Rotterdam, on the Wilhelmina pier.
The Holland America Line (HAL) played an important role in the history of emigration.
From the front of the building, large luxury passenger ships began their voyage to New York for almost a century.
Over one million European immigrants made the one-way trip to the United States, the New World or the Promised Land. For many people, this link between Europe and America has been the salvation of poverty or religious persecution.
In 1971, after more than 100 years of passenger transport, this company left the city.
With its copper dome towers and rotating vane, the building was reinvented into a hotel and a large café leading to the opening of the New York hotel on May 5, 1993.
The symmetrical facade of the building is characterized by bay windows, small towers, balconies and beautiful decorations.
From the hotel and its terras, you have a superb view of the Meuse or Maas. The river ends in the North Sea and is home to one of the largest ports in the world.
