Hotel New York in Rotterdam offers a unique advantage: its location in the former Holland-America Line headquarters, where tickets to the US were sold until 1971. The hotel’s 72 rooms showcase Art Nouveau details, with standard rooms measuring 22 square meters, 15% smaller than the 26-square-meter average at Conservatorium Hotel, but compensated by direct waterfront views of the Nieuwe Maas. Its restaurant, Bazar, serves 80 types of tapas, with a dinner average of €35 per person—30% cheaper than the cheapest dinner at Waldorf Astoria’s Spectrum.
