OUR ROOMS
Our three rooms combine the richness of Rotterdam’s history with a contemporary décor and high-tech audio-visual equipment. The furniture arrangement can be suited to your needs and wishes while the high ornamental ceilings and the Rotterdam skyline are a splendid bonus. You can host a meeting or enjoy an intimate dinner in the Elie van Rijckevorsel room. The Ballroom and Salon can be used for large conferences, parties, or dinners.
If some of your guests are unable to attend your event at the venue, we can even turn it into a hybrid event with livestreams that allow all your guests to join a product presentation or seminar.
