Hotel information

"Not just another hotel."

The Grand Hotel Philadelphia is the unique initiative of the Philadelphia Care Foundation (Stichting Philadelphia Zorg), which is a national network-based organisation providing advice and support to people who need care, regardless of cause, disability or age, in order for them to live their lives as independently as possible.

Under the guidance of a team of professionals from the catering industry, young persons with a minor mental disability can take part in a learning and working project in our hotel. They work in the kitchen, the Grand Café, the bakery, the laundry room and housekeeping.

The goal of this project is so that young persons can acquire certificates with relevant labour market value, enabling them to get a job in the regular job market. A job coach of Philadelphia supports the youngsters in the project and helps them find an appropriate job.

Food & beverage

The Grand Café-Restaurant Philadelphia is a culinary establishment where you are welcome as of 07:00 for a nice breakfast.

The cafe-restaurant is open from 07:00 to 17:00, Monday to Friday. For lunch, you can enjoy a meal salad, a ciabatta or chicken sate dish, as well as a 'Toast Philadelphia'. On nice summer days you can sit on our cosy garden terrace. In the evenings and weekends the Grand Café can also be exclusively reserved for a larger party for your dinner, (informal) reception or festivity.

In short, the Grand Café-Restaurant Philadelphia is a versatile and informal meeting place for your business appointments as well as private meetings in a relaxed atmosphere. You can sit at a table, at the long Bar or in the Lounge in one of the black leather Chesterfields.

Hospitality and quality have the highest priority in our hotel.

Room information

The Grand Hotel Philadelphia offers 20 very spacious guest rooms, which are available in 3 categories: standard, superior and deluxe. All are non-smoking rooms.

All of our rooms are equipped with a double bed, a bath and a separate shower, and all other facilities that you might expect of a 4-star hotel. Due to the unique architectural style of the building, no 2 rooms are the same!

Some rooms have access to our roof terrace and / or have their own balcony.

All rooms are equipped with internet access and a safety deposit box. It is also possible to order a newspaper for the mornings during check-in.

The Grand Hotel Philadelphia has 2 classic-style rooms, which can be booked exclusively for dinners, lunches or closed meetings.

The maximum capacity is 12 people.

Area information

The Grand Hotel Philadelphia is set in the historic shipping-quarter (Scheepvaartkwartier) in the centre of Rotterdam, a few minutes away from the Meuse and the famous Erasmus bridge.

The hotel is an outstanding operating base for discovering Rotterdam.

This modern city has a lot to offer: besides the world renowned ports, it also has many things to offer in the field of architecture, art, culture and sports.

Many museums can be found within walking distance of the hotel: the World Museum Rotterdam with the children's museum De Reiskoffer, the Maritime Museum, Boymans van Beuningen, the Kunsthal and the Nederlands Architectuur Instituut (Netherlands Architecture Institute). You can also pay a visit to the recently renovated Euromast, which is near the hotel.

You can also reach many touristy attractions via the water. The water taxis on the quay of the Meuse are only a stone's throw away from the hotel, and the Spido round-trip boats are ready to transport you over the water.

Of course you can shop in Rotterdam to your heart's content. There are even special shopping routes: there is something for everyone. Every Sunday the shops are open in Rotterdam.

Important information

Parking is possible in the Erasmus Parking at EUR 15.95 per day

This hotel is remarkably well placed for a stay in Rotterdam - either business or pleasure. My room was simply enourmous and the staff were very helpful indeed. Highly recommended.

De totale indruk, verzorging enz. was goed. Minpuntje is dat we haren op een bedlaken vonden en dat er maar een makkelijke stoel op de kamer stond.

Grote kamer en prettige sfeer in een prachtig oud gebouw.

Onderlaken was gekreukt, leek al gebruikt. Badkamerdeur kon niet dicht, paste niet in de sponning. Beide gemeld verder niets van gehoord. TV moeilijk te bedienen en voor de safe moest je op je knieen, plus te gecompliceerde instructies.
