& Mees Rotterdam
Contemporary-heritage boutique. Preserved Bauhaus bones with a moody, modern fit-out. Low-key and welcoming rather than showy — the kind of place where locals actually come for dinner.
The Penthouse has a 32 m² private south-facing terrace — worth the splurge for warm Rotterdam evenings.
Why It Matters
Listed on both Tablet Hotels and the Michelin Guide. The building is a protected 1938 Bauhaus monument with its original architectural details intact — one of the few hotels in Rotterdam housed in genuine listed heritage. Restaurant Mies is a standalone local destination with arts programming and community events, not just a hotel canteen.
A 20-room boutique hotel inside a protected 1938 Bauhaus monument on Mathenesserlaan, just around the corner from the galleries and music venues of Nieuwe Binnenweg. Original woodwork, moldings, tilework, and terrazzo floors have all been kept — dark tones and sculptural lighting take care of the rest. Downstairs, Restaurant Mies runs from breakfast through late-night drinks and pulls a genuine neighborhood crowd, not just hotel guests.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
The Comfy One
The mid-tier workhorse: 22–30 m², king bed, rain shower. After a full day in Rotterdam this is exactly what it sounds like — a genuinely comfortable, spacious room.
King · 26 sqm
The Cute One
Ranging from 18–22 m², this is the hotel's entry-level room for two. Queen bed makes it well suited to a romantic weekend or solo trip where you want a bit more floor space than the Natural One offers.
Queen · 20 sqmThe Extra Comfy One
Steps up from The Comfy One by adding a proper freestanding bathtub alongside the rain shower. At 30 m² it has a bit more breathing room. The bath is the main reason to book this over the standard king.
King · 30 sqmThe Natural One
The smallest room in the house, but it has a private balcony and a warm wooden environment that sets it apart. Good for solo travelers or couples who plan to spend most of their time out in the city.
King · 16.5 sqmThe Penthouse
Once the private residence of Mies Lanen — the founder of the institute that originally occupied this building. The penthouse is 65 m² with a separate living room and lounge, king bedroom, freestanding bath, rain shower, and a 32 m² private south-facing terrace. An additional connecting room is available on request for groups. Butler service is available as part of The Penthouse Experience package.
