The Lloyd Hotel doesn't need to advertise its cultural connections. From the moment you set your eyes on the Lloyd you'll realize that it is no ordinary place. The building is almost a century old and located on the Oostelijke Handelskade, a 2 kilometre long island. Renovation began on the heritage property when it was dilapidated and now the 116 rooms' interiors blend timeless classical Dutch designs with modern style. Moreover, each room has a different star rating, starting from one star up to 5. This enables people of moderate means to enjoy a stay here alongside those who can afford every imaginable luxury.
Hip to modern technology, iPods, DVD players and other electronic goodies are at the guests' disposal at Hotel Roemer. The rooms are decorated with chic pastel color schemes and carpets rich in fabrics. With 23 guests rooms, the hotel is as contemporary a hotel as can be designed.
