The Bellhop Hotel

LOCAL as Architects

The hotel transforms the typical corridors of a Dutch townhouse into action bands for moving, staying, and sleeping inside.

The rooms combine comfort and convenience with bespoke design, in an optimally utilized space. The tatami style cork and bamboo alcoves, custom fitted to the light and airy design of the rooms, turn our classic inner-city building into an oasis of tranquility. The room quite literally wraps itself around you like a comfy blanket, creating your own peaceful nook in the city.

The hotel has 15 rooms and 4 different sizes. It offers space for single travelers and families. The ground floor is connected to one of Rotterdam's most lively streets with a reception and bar designed as a communal kitchen, with a floating ´cloud´ terrace in cork to seat, bringing lots of natural light down to the basement restaurant.
