Ruby Hotels expands in the Netherlands: spectacular new project in Rotterdam unveiled 

Ruby Hotels is proud to announce its second project in the Netherlands, following the success of its flagship in Amsterdam. Located in Rotterdam's vibrant Glashaven district, the new project will offer approximately 225 carefully designed rooms and vibrant public spaces. The partnership with Foruminvest, a leading European hotel developer, promises to offer an unrivalled Lean Luxury experience in one of Rotterdam's most dynamic neighbourhoods.

Led by founder and CEO Michael Struck, Ruby Hotels continues its expansion journey with the introduction of the Lean Luxury concept in Rotterdam. The project, a transformation of office space into a 225-room hotel, promises a seamless blend of contemporary design and functional elegance.

Strategically located between the iconic Boompjes skyline and the bustling city centre, Rotterdam Glashaven enjoys a prime location that embodies the cosmopolitan spirit of the city. Located in the Maritime District, surrounded by historic harbours and the majestic river Maas, the hotel offers a peaceful retreat while remaining within easy reach of Rotterdam's cultural and culinary treasures.

The hotel will be developed by Foruminvest, an award-winning property developer with an impressive track record of major hotel developments across Europe. Elena Günther-Jakobs, Associate Director Development Northern & Central Europe said: "Rotterdam is a city buzzing with energy and creativity, making it an ideal destination for our target market. We are excited to partner with Foruminvest and leverage their expertise to bring Ruby's signature blend of style, comfort and affordability to this dynamic market," Günther-Jakobs said.

Rotterdam, known for its progressive architecture and cultural diversity, is a magnet for business travellers and tourists alike. With a booming economy and a robust tourism sector, the city's hotel market is growing steadily. Moreover, Rotterdam's proximity to Schiphol Airport provides an attractive gateway for international travellers seeking a uniquely Dutch experience beyond the confines of Amsterdam.

Bob van de Geer, Senior Manager Developments & Acquisitions, adds: ''The development of this hotel fits seamlessly with Foruminvest's investment strategy, focusing on prime locations in major European cities and popular tourist destinations. We are truly grateful for the collaboration with Ruby, a team of true hotel professionals. This project marks the beginning of a successful partnership,'' Says Van de Geer.

Foruminvest, with its impressive portfolio of projects and focus on sustainable development, shares Ruby's vision of creating spaces that appeal to modern travellers. While Foruminvest transforms the former office building, Ruby's in-house design team, led by Matthew Balon, is poised to provide the hotel with a distinctive combination of style and functionality.
