The transformation of a former office building into an innovative hospitality concept. On Westblaak in Rotterdam, you\u2019ll soon be able to stay in one of the 165 hotel rooms or 44 sleep pods at The Usual hotel.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Usual<\/h2>\n\n<p>The concept behind The Usual revolves around sustainability and connection. They believe it\u2019s possible to travel and stay more consciously\u2014without sacrificing style or enjoyment. Travelers can worry less about their footprint, as the hotel has thoughtfully considered everything from the biggest decisions to the smallest details, with a focus on aesthetics, quality, and longevity, while working with local suppliers. The Usual continuously strives to make a positive impact for both traveling guests and the local community. Doing good is becoming the new normal.<br\/>\u201cOur goal is to prove that it\u2019s possible to travel in a more sustainable way without compromising on comfort and convenience. In Rotterdam, BOBgroep is helping us make that vision a reality,\u201d says Joachim de Looij (CEO). \u201cAt The Usual, we take care of our guests, so that their experience can be all about enjoyment and delight.\u201d       <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Subsidies for Sustainability<\/h2>\n\n<p>We are especially proud when we can help sustainable initiatives like this one achieve their goals through dedicated subsidy programs.
