The Vibe: Urban hip.

The Area: City Centre

The DNA: Steering away from traditional thinking in hospitality – instead allowing guests to curate their own ideal of the perfect stay – Rotterdam’s Hotel Unplugged connects the next generation of travellers; those looking to “Plug-in to a hotel, to feel Unplugged” by opting for community and experience over space and status. Set over five floors and boasting ample space to co-work and plan next steps over a coffee, Hotel Unplugged sits at ease in a city as progressive and creative as Rotterdam.

The DNA: Optimising the use of the long and narrow spaces of almost all 28 rooms resulted in surprising and exciting creations. Ranging from 14 to 23 square metres, rooms have everything you need and nothing you don’t. Eliminating the space you won’t use, rooms feature the essentials: extra-large cinema beds with ecological sheets and smartphone-controlled technology. Entering the room through the bathroom, beds enjoy a prime spot by the window, and typically function as a workspace and place to relax in front of the television. Spaces feature a colour palette of pistachio and lavender alternated with rust and black; colours designed to calm and unwind.
