Top location in Rotterdam

Where better to organise conferences and business events than in the throbbing heart of Rotterdam? Right next to Central Station, in the middle of the city's impressive business centre, you can find the recently restored Groothandelsgebouw, by architect Maaskant. The Grandcafé - Restaurant - Function rooms 'Engels' located here offers a host of possibilities for business events.

It makes no difference if there are twelve or finteen hundred of you, your guests will have plenty of room to enjoy themselves in one of the different rooms, wilst the Grandcafé-Restaurant and Tapas Restaurant Don Quijote provide a high-class culinary experience. On top of the building, there are various roof terraces and modern function rooms, offering magnificient views of Rotterdam's skyline.

To mark the renovation of the station area, Engels has modernised most of the rooms and designed a completely new interior for two of them on Weena, called Platform 8 and Grandcentral 8. Platform 8 is a luxurious, cool bar for private receptions, business drinks and the like. Grandcentral 8 is a larger trendy space that can be hired for meetings and special business or private dinners. Both are located on the ground floor and have an fresh, modern look and feel.
