Van der Valk Hotel Rotterdam-Blijdorp is a contemporary four-star hotel that opened its doors in 2008 just across from Rotterdam Zoo (Diergaarde Blijdorp). The hotel has over 189 rooms and a restaurant with bar and patio that can seat up to 200 guests. Its international menu offers an extensive selection of fish, meat, vegetarian and seasonal dishes.
Its large patio offers a view of the Roel Langerakpark, the Rotterdam skyline and, with a little luck, the polar bears in the Rotterdam Zoo.
Van der Valk Hotel Rotterdam-Blijdorp is in the Blijdorp district, near Rotterdam The Hague Airport. The hotel has a direct bus connection from the airport and Rotterdam Central Station. Free guest parking is available at the hotel.
