Hospitality and quality have the highest priority in our hotel.

"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.

Guests are kindly requested to note that some rooms are not accessible by elevator. Guests arriving outside reception opening hours are kindly requested to check in at Van Vollenhovenstraat 62.

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.

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!
