Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has announced the option to sign two iconic additions to its portfolio of exceptional hotels from early 2025: Hôtel Lutetia in Paris and the Conservatorium Hotel in Amsterdam. The acceptance of the offer is subject to the completion of a consultation process with the relevant Works Councils, which will begin shortly. The Conservatorium Hotel is set to be rebranded as Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, Amsterdam in January 2026, following a comprehensive upgrade (the hotel will stay open during that period).
The Hotels are part of the Locka Holding BV. Founder, Alfred Akirov, commented, “Since we opened both Hotels, we have seen the growth in results and guest satisfaction, making both Hotels desired leading destinations in Europe. I am thankful to the Hotels’ teams for their great work together. We are delighted to be collaborating with Mandarin Oriental to rebrand our heritage landmarks and bring a new energy to the experiences that both have to offer. This partnership marks a significant chapter in the illustrious history of both hotels and we are confident that Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group’s legendary hospitality expertise will further elevate these iconic properties and bring new fans to enjoy the delights of each destination and each hotel’s unique spirit.”
Introducing Conservatorium Hotel
Located in Amsterdam’s renowned Museum Quarter, the Conservatorium Hotel is a striking fusion of historical grandeur and modern sophistication. Originally designed in the late 19th century by architect Daniel Knuttel, the building has a storied past as a former bank and music conservatory. Today, it stands as a symbol of refined luxury, reimagined by celebrated Italian architect Piero Lissoni. The hotel features 129 spacious rooms and suites, where modern elegance and craftsmanship seamlessly blend with the building’s historic architecture.
Taiko Restaurant, under the guidance of Executive Chef Schilo van Coevorden, offers innovative Asian-inspired dishes, while the Brasserie & Lounge provides all-day dining beneath a stunning glass atrium. The award-winning Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Centre is an immersive wellness sanctuary designed to promote balance of the body and mind, while the hotel’s deep connection to culture is reflected not only in its design but also in its partnerships with artists, musicians and local institutions.
Perfectly situated near cultural landmarks such as the Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum and Concertgebouw, the Conservatorium Hotel is ideally placed for a truly immersive experience in the heart of Amsterdam.
