Hotel New York
Gold-seekers
Looking for a better life, tens of thousands of gold-seekers left Holland from Hotel New York to ‘the promised land’: America. The shipping industry changed and the last ship with passengers sailed from Rotterdam in 1971. The Holland America Line moved out and its headquarters stood vacant until it was transformed to Hotel New York in 1993.
