The Rotterdam is a 149-metre complex of three interconnected towers on Wilhelminakade in Rotterdam’s Kop van Zuid district. Designed by Rem Koolhaas and completed in 2013, it brings offices, apartments and Hotel Nhow together in one of the Netherlands’ largest buildings. Its shifting rectangular forms stand out on the waterfront skyline, and the building is visible from the Erasmus Bridge. Visit in the evening to see it lit up, or look inside the reception area for its artwork.
Three towers on the waterfront
The Rotterdam stands on Wilhelminakade in Kop van Zuid, on the south side of the city. Rem Koolhaas designed the 149-metre complex, completed in 2013. Three rectangular towers connect to form a single building, with offices and apartments as well as Hotel Nhow.
Its shifting outline gives the skyline a distinctive profile. The building is visible from the Erasmus Bridge, making the bridge a useful spot to take in its shape alongside the river.
Inside the complex
The reception area contains artwork, a detail to look for if you enter the building. Hotel Nhow is also based here. Its Sunset Rooms are noted for views across the Erasmus Bridge, the river and Rotterdam’s city centre.
