Ει βούλει καλώς ακούειν, μάθε καλώς λέγειν, μαθών δε καλώς λέγειν, πειρώ καλώς πράττειν, και ούτω καρπώση το καλώς ακούειν. (Επίκτητος)

(Αν θέλεις να σε επαινούν, μάθε πρώτα να λες καλά λόγια, και αφού μάθεις να λες καλά λόγια, να κάνεις καλές πράξεις, και τότε θα ακούς καλά λόγια για εσένα).

Mainport Hotel Opens in Rotterdam

On May 13, Rotterdam’s modern harbor skyline became even richer by the opening of new Design Hotels™ member, Mainport. 
The hotel, designed by MAS architectuur is characterized by a futuristic façade of black glass and aluminum. The hotel stands proud in the central district of Leuvehaven and reflects Rotterdam’s unique architectural aesthetic. Just as Rotterdam is a symbiosis of international influences and Dutch tradition, Mainport’s overall concept entwines the best cuisine, spa traditions and design from around the world, while placing an importance on Rotterdam as the hotel’s ‘main port’.

Mainport’s 215 rooms have been split into five categories: City XL, Corner, Waterfront Sauna, Waterfront Spa and the Spa Suite. Each room reflects the hotel’s dedication to wellness by providing an in-room spa equipped with walk-in showers, anti-fog mirrors and a whirlpool. The Waterfront Spa category and the Spa Suite even have a private Jacuzzi, Finnish sauna and a mirror integrated TV.
The interiors of the hotel, designed by Feran Thomassen have been inspired by many different continents. Luxurious marble bathrooms, impressive fireplaces and panoramic windows, offering views of Rotterdam’s highlights, exude grandeur. Light grey curtains, anthracite desks and dark timber flooring accessorize an elegant environment.

In-room spas may be the ultimate luxury but Mainport’s eighth floor spa takes wellness to a whole new level. Here, a Finnish panorama sauna, a Turkish steam room, hamam, two treatment rooms and an extensive relaxation room awaits.

Mainport is located in the area of Leuvehaven next to the historic Maritime Museum and the asymmetric Erasmus Bridge. The inner harbor of Rotterdam provides a beautiful skyline view which connects the center with the southern part of the city and the newly built, futuristic waterfront.
