Additionally, DoubleTree guests can access the spa and swimming pool facilities at the adjacent Haven Hotel Rotterdam on the 8th floor for a surcharge. Treatments are available on weekends, delivered by an external provider. The hotel does not market itself as a wellness destination, and there are no other leisure businesses on-site.

The hotel does not hold an official star rating however, avoids positioning itself as a luxury or deluxe property and does not focus on entertainment-driven offerings. Its website promotes proximity to local cultural and historical sites but without using language such as luxury, spectacular, award-winning, unique, high-end, boutique, spa, resort, entertainment).
