We realize this hotel is fifteen minutes from downtown Rotterdam, but there are a few reasons why we chose to include it in our list of recommended hotels. First, Hotel Novotel Brainpark is a newly-renovated 4-star property with 206 colorful, modern rooms. Second, they stock new Technogym equipment in the hotel gym. Third, and most important, they have a relationship with one of the Health City clubs for a significant discounted day pass.
The fitness center is located on the 17th floor, and it houses one piece of Technogym cardio equipment for every modality - treadmill, elliptical, upright and recumbent bike, as well as a Technogym resistance machine. Not enough? Don't worry - Novotel has secured a relationship with the nearby Health City - just 1.6 km away. Hotel guests need only to shell out €8.75 for a day pass. This is half price, so take advantage if you need more than one of each machine, or more resistance training options.
The property is located next to Kralingen Woods and Kralingen Lake, and downtown Rotterdam is easily accessible (10 minute walk to the subway and 15 minutes away), making the hotel an ideal base for exploring Rotterdam. You'll be staying near many Rotterdam museums, like the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum (art), the Dutch Resistance Museum Rotterdam (history) and the Dutch Photo Museum(you guessed it - photography). The Euromast (observation tower), Diergaarde Blijdorp (zoo), and the Beeldenroute Westersingel (sculpture collection) are all nearby and recommended viewing.
Still bored? There's a marketplace nearby - Binnenrotteplein. Check out one or all of the 520 stalls, with goods ranging from clothing to food.
