Locals cherish this twin-towered landmark on the Wilhelminapier, the former head office of the Holland America Line that once waved off emigrants to New York. The grand café and waterside terrace draw a steady, affectionate crowd.
Sit among original panelling and harbour views; it doubles as a much-loved brasserie even if you are not staying over.
Local tip: Arrive by the Aqualiner water taxi across the Maas for the full harbour approach.
