Summer events and art series planned at Morgan & Mees

Morgan & Mees Rotterdam has released its summer events calendar, marking a period of programming that includes culinary evenings, art exhibitions and music performances. Housed in a historic building on the Mathenesserlaan, the location has become known not only for dining and accommodation, but also as a venue for creative and cultural events.

Rooftop preview and summer collaborations

On Thursday 26 June, Morgan & Mees will introduce its new rooftop terrace during a "Pre-Summer Penthouse Event." The gathering is intended for entrepreneurs, creatives and event professionals to experience the panoramic rooftop as a potential venue.

A second event is scheduled for Thursday 10 July as part of the lead-up to the annual North Sea Jazz Festival. Organised in collaboration with ArtPublicity, the evening will feature live saxophone music and aims to link visual and performing arts.

New restaurant concept to be launched in autumn

In September, Morgan & Mees plans to formally launch “Mies” – a restaurant named in reference to Mies Lanen, the historical figure associated with the building. The official opening event is scheduled for 18 September and is expected to feature art, live music and seasonal dishes. The concept aims to integrate heritage, hospitality and social engagement.

Ongoing art exhibitions

Every three months, a new female artist is invited to exhibit at Morgan & Mees. These rotating exhibitions are opened with celebratory events and form part of the venue’s continuing support for emerging artists. Each exhibition will influence not only the visual atmosphere of the space, but also elements of the seasonal menu developed by chef Lucas Jeffries.

ROTTERDAM, 19 September 2023 – A significant expansion in Rotterdam's hospitality sector is on the horizon as two new hotels prepare to join the city's landscape. Annexum and Hilton have entered into a franchise agreement to reposition two hotels, adding a total of 480 rooms to Rotterdam's accommodation options.

Annexum and Hilton collaborate on new hotels

A franchise agreement has been signed between Hilton and Annexum for the repositioning of two hotels in Rotterdam. The hotels, named Mainport Hotel Rotterdam Curio Collection by Hilton and DoubleTree by Hilton Rotterdam Centre, will open their doors in 2024 after renovations. Until then, both hotels will continue to operate as Hilton affiliate hotels. Annexum recently acquired these properties, which will be the first under the Curio Collection by Hilton and DoubleTree by Hilton brands in Rotterdam.

Views on the collaboration

Patrick Fitzgibbon, Senior Vice President of Development for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa for Hilton, stated, “Rotterdam is a dynamic city with a vibrant cultural scene. The addition of Curio Collection by Hilton and DoubleTree by Hilton will enhance its appeal as a travel destination. This collaboration with Annexum increases Hilton's presence in Rotterdam.”

Ronald Jansen, partner at Annexum, said, “The growing popularity of Rotterdam among business travellers and tourists is evident. We believe that these recently acquired hotels, in collaboration with Hilton, will become even more popular. Their prime location in the heart of Rotterdam makes them ideal for conversion to DoubleTree by Hilton and Curio Collection by Hilton.”
