Our 2nd floor is a great place for good food, great conversations, and a good feeling, all day long. You can relax in our lounge, have a good work-out in our gym and enjoy some tasty bites and drinks from our Food Market. Because breakfast is not served buffet style but by individual products in the Food Market, you only pay for what you consume and reservations are not necessary. You decide which services you use and what advice you need – from a nightcap overlooking the skyline to somebody to fill you in on the city’s best-kept secrets. So come over, enjoy the highest level of hospitality and discover the hidden gems of Rotterdam!

In the heart of Rotterdam

In the heart of Rotterdam

The James Hotel is located in the heart of town, which makes it ideal to explore the city by foot and also as a starting point to take the public transportation all around the city. Our team knows its way around and loves to share all hidden treasures of Rotterdam. The James Hotel does not have a bar and restaurant but has a 24/7 Food Market and above all a great central location in the bustling city centre which is why The James has composed its favourite hotspots in our very own city map. This city map is available free of charge at the reception.
