Major renovation planned for Euromast tower in Rotterdam

From January 5 to early April next year, the Euromast will undergo major renovations and will be closed to the public. During the three-month closure, the exterior of the crow’s nest will be refurbished and the tower’s restaurant will be completely overhauled.

“These works are essential for preserving our iconic monument,” general manager of the Euromast Leonie Staat explained in an announcement. “The Euromast was designed by Huig Maaskant as a symbol of progress and innovation. With this comprehensive renovation, we’re ensuring the building remains both safe and iconic for generations to come.”

Rotterdam’s Euromast to get new modern restaurant

While the exterior of the tower gets upgraded with a new lick of paint, the restaurant will receive a makeover. According to the owners, the new contemporary look planned for the restaurant will “respect Maaskant’s monumental style while embracing the character of Rotterdam”.

“Locals, tourists and business guests will experience the best of the city here – with great food, personal service and a breathtaking view of the skyline,” said Staat. The renovations are the final phase of the Euromast’s upgrade, following past improvements to the Euroscoop and Rise of Rotterdam.

“The Euromast is more than just a monument, it’s a symbol of Rotterdam and an important part of Dutch heritage,” says Staat. “This renovation is an investment in the future of this iconic building. We want to ensure the Euromast continues to shine for decades to come as Rotterdam’s proud observation tower, a place where visitors from around the world can enjoy the unique experience this landmark has to offer.”
