Hey Sunshine,

You think travelling is more than just the next summer holiday, but the feeling of being at home anywhere in the world? That your workplace should be a place with personality and soul, where new ideas come to life? Then you are the missing olive in our Martini, the missing melody in our music and the heartbeat of our Ruby Tessa.

Our Ruby Tessa looks straight ahead – into the future of Rotterdam. Born from a city that chose progress over nostalgia, she captures Rotterdam’s fearless post-war spirit and its belief that tomorrow is built today. Inspired by the optimism of 1950s modernism and the bold visions of futurism, we’ve mixed clean architectural lines with playful retro-future accents and a confident ’80s edge. Ruby Tessa is a place to pause, reset and tap into a city that never stops moving forward. With 225 rooms, she rises in Galshaven, just southwest of the city centre, putting Rotterdam’s historic heart, the iconic Market Hall and excellent transport connections within easy reach – while the skyline around you proves one thing: the future is now.

We are a fast-growing hospitality group with existing hotels and workspaces in some of Europe's most exciting locations and many more projects under construction. We break new ground with our Lean Luxury philosophy, creating a contemporary and affordable form of luxury.
