Supernova Hotel
Bold, color-blocked, music-loving, locally obsessed. More Wes Anderson than Marriott. Guests come for personality, not polish.
Request an Urban Oasis room for direct private garden access and the full glass façade — they feel genuinely different from the other categories
Why It Matters
Winner of the Entree Award 2019 for Best Hotel Design. A Michelin-mentioned restaurant (Xīn by Chef Wong) operates on-site. The hotel presents a curated contemporary art collection from Rotterdam artists, most pieces for sale. Signature blue bikes are included with every room.
Supernova calls itself a 'non-hotel' — and it means it. Housed in a former post office on 's-Gravendijkwal, this 38-room boutique property leans hard into bold color blocking, eclectic interiors, and a distinctly Rotterdam personality. No two rooms are the same; one might come with a record player, another with direct garden access through a full glass wall. Public spaces feel like someone's very cool apartment: a vinyl lounge, a barista-run Library Lounge, a cocktail bar, and the on-site Superette stocked with local goods. The Michelin-mentioned Xīn restaurant operates out of the lobby four nights a week, making the ground floor a legit dining destination in its own right.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Double Trouble
A spacious double room with a laid-back chic lounge chair and private desk. Good for two people who want actual breathing room, or those who need a spot to get work done.
Double
Double Trouble +
The bigger sibling of Double Trouble. Same spacious double layout but with a dining/work table added. More floor space, same personality.
Double
Fab Four
Sleeps up to four in an open-plan space. Works for families, friend groups, or bands. Two beds in an open layout — one is on a split-level which guests consistently call a fun touch.
Multiple
Sup'erior
The top-tier category. King-size bed, record player, TV, and each unit has its own distinct character. Some come with a balcony with a view worth writing home about. No two are identical.
King
Super Deluxe
A split-level large studio with a king-size bed, proper dresser, and a record player. Plenty of floor space and a comfortable seating area. You won't feel like the walls are closing in.
King
Super Standard
The entry-level room that punches above its weight. Queen-size Emma bed with quality linens, smart TV you can stream your own content to, and a walk-in shower. Fits two without feeling cramped.
Queen
Triple
Built for three. One king-size bed, one single bed, a round table for gathering, and a leather sofa. Functional and stylish without feeling like three people got shoehorned into a double.
King + Single
Urban Oasis
Split-level micro lofts with direct access to the hotel garden through a full glass façade. Private terrace included. The most architecturally distinct rooms in the building — great for stargazing. Limited number of these.

Supernova's blue bikes are included with the price of every room (subject to availability). The best way to explore Rotterdam's cycling infrastructure and the immediate neighbourhood.
