A Symphony of Style

Tucked between the world-class museums and designer boutiques of Amsterdam’s Museumplein, the Conservatorium Hotel is a striking fusion of heritage and innovation. Once home to the 19th-century Sweelinck Music Conservatory, the landmark building has been masterfully reimagined by renowned architect Piero Lissoni into a sanctuary where contemporary luxury meets timeless artistry. Vaulted ceilings, glass walkways, and original stonework create an atmosphere that feels more like a curated design gallery than a hotel—a place where every detail plays in perfect harmony. Whether you're sipping espresso in the sun-drenched lounge or unwinding at the award-winning Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Centre, the Conservatorium offers more than rest—it invites reverie.

Located in the heart of Museumplein, just steps from the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and the chic Van Baerlestraat and P.C. Hooftstraat, it places the best of Amsterdam at your feet.

The hotel’s accommodations reflect both personality and place. From the townhouse-inspired Residence Suites ideal for extended stays, to the iconic “I Love Amsterdam” Suite with its sweeping 360-degree views, each room preserves distinctive architectural features, balancing historic charm with minimalist modern elegance.

The Akasha Wellbeing Centre—often hailed as one of the finest in Amsterdam—blends classical and holistic traditions. With an 18-meter pool, Watsu pool, sauna, Hammam, and the signature Hot Seashell Massage, it’s a serene counterpoint to the city’s cultural buzz.

Culinary excellence is led by Dutch chef Schilo van Coevorden, whose vision comes to life at the acclaimed Tunes Restaurant and the more casual, sun-drenched Conservatorium Brasserie and Lounge. Both offer creative, globally inspired menus grounded in local ingredients.

Since its debut in 2011, the Conservatorium has garnered accolades from Condé Nast Traveller, Gault Millau, and Time Out, while also making headlines as the first Dutch hotel to earn Green Globe certification for sustainable tourism.

Most recently, the property entered a new chapter, joining the prestigious Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group—a move that promises to elevate its already stellar standards with the group's signature service and global prestige
