The two leading hotel companies have announced a strategic partnership to open and operate new, branded hotels across Europe.
The first phase of the collaboration was revealed recently with the signing of a hotel management agreement for Cycas to operate the 108-room Motto by Hilton Rotterdam Blaak, as well as a second, new hotel that will be announced in early 2022.
Set to open mid-2022, the Rotterdam hotel – a converted, former bank – represents the first Motto by Hilton to open in the Netherlands, as well as the urban lifestyle brand’s European debut.
The Motto brand prides itself on offering guests a launch pad to the most desirable urban locations to help them connect with the neighbourhood culture. The hotel’s central Rotterdam location, just 350m from Rotterdam Blaak metro station, 1.4km from Rotterdam Centraal Station and 8km from the airport, will ensure easy access to the city’s main attractions.
Its versatile social spaces and innovative food & beverage offerings are expected to appeal to a wide range of travellers, including the groups market. Design highlights include a light-flooded, glazed atrium, providing guests spaces to meet, drink, work and relax.
