Description
Foruminvest has acquired the Glashaven office building, located on the vibrant Wijnhaven Island in the heart of Rotterdam, and is transforming it into a sustainable 4-star Ruby hotel (231 keys).The former office building from the 1950s will be largely stripped and given new facades in the (post-war) reconstruction style. Foruminvest has set high standards in terms of sustainability, and the redevelopment will result in a BREEAM Excellent label. The new hotel’s energy use will also meet the Dutch Green Building Council’s Paris Proof standard, which will result in at least two-thirds less energy use than in comparable hotel buildings in the Netherlands.
The hotel will be operated by Ruby Hotels, a leading hotel group known for its ‘Lean luxury’ concept.
The ground floor will feature a restaurant and a library with workspaces, welcoming both hotel guests and local residents.
This will be the first Ruby Hotel in Rotterdam, with the architecture by Studio Klinker and the renowned STUDIO HUGO responsible for the interior design. The result will be a seamless blend of contemporary design and comfort.
Foruminvest is responsible for the entire realisation, fitting out and interior design of the hotel. The hotel is expected to open in the summer of 2026.
