Hotel NEW YORK, Rotterdam

if you ever have to stay over night in Rotterdam, Holland do it in the Hotel NEW York. The former head office of the HOLLAND-AMERICA-Line was built in 1901 and played a leading role in the European migrant history. Who knows how many people left the old world hoping to find a better life in the United States. The hotel offers great rooms with a unique style and lots of Art Deco elements and objects. Use the water taxi for the short ride into the center of town. www.hotelnewyork.nl
