Stadsvilla Mout

Best known for windmills and gin, Schiedam sometimes sits in the shadow of its more popular next-door neighbour Rotterdam. But this is a city that’s brimming with history and charm – and is still within easy reach of Rotterdam thanks to an abundance of trains, trams, and buses.

Stadsvilla Mout is the perfect blend of modern and historic – interiors are light, airy, and chic, while the façade stays true to its 18^th century roots. And did we mention it’s bagged a central spot right on a canal? That’s your morning strolls sorted – once you've tucked into the hotel's breakfast spread of course. As for zipping in and out of Rotterdam, there’s a tram stop about six minutes’ walk away which will have you in the centre of the city in about 20 minutes.
