Rotterdam City Guide | Things to Do for Design Lovers
Hi guys, welcome back to Soft Visuals blog! I am a big fan of Dutch design. I have been to Netherlands and Rotterdam several times and I always enjoyed it. The city has a lot to offer for people who like design, so let's take a look at some of my favorite places!
Hotels
Hotel Ame
Hotel âme is designed with a passion for the conscious and modern traveler. Housed in a monumental building from 1867 with a beautiful architectural soul, this hotel has been carefully renovated to preserve its classic yet contemporary style. A visit to Hotel âme is like experiencing Rotterdam through the eyes of an expert. The hotel’s owners have curated each detail of their property in order to create an authentic experience for guests who are looking for something more than just a place to sleep.
We visited this hotel during our stay in Rotterdam and it was great! We loved the cafe on the ground floor, where we enjoyed some delicious coffee and snacks as we planned out our day. We also enjoyed relaxing in one of the many cozy nooks throughout the hotel, surrounded by gorgeous art pieces and furnishings that will make you feel like you have stepped into another world.

De Jong Restaurant
A dining experience like no other. Chef and owner Jim de Jong work with the best that nature offers. Vegetables, flowers, and herbs from the kitchen garden play a leading role in his dishes. You can choose from two daily menus: one with meat and fish or one with only vegetables. The restaurant is located in de Hofbogen, a former railway viaduct.
