Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium

Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium occupies one of the most impressive buildings in Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter. Originally constructed in the late 19th century as the Rijkspostspaarbank, the monumental building later became the city’s renowned Sweelinck Conservatory of Music. Italian architect Piero Lissoni transformed it into a spectacular contemporary hotel, connecting the historic structure with a light-filled glass atrium.

Formerly known as the Conservatorium Hotel, the property officially became Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, Amsterdam in January 2026. The transition introduced Mandarin Oriental’s highly personalised service while retaining the building’s distinctive Amsterdam identity.

The hotel offers 129 contemporary rooms and suites, ranging from stylish guestrooms to spacious split-level suites and exceptional residences. The interiors combine natural colours, dark wood and modern design, while selected suites feature balconies or rooftop terraces overlooking the Museum Quarter.

Its 1,000-square-metre Akasha Spa is the largest hotel spa in Amsterdam and one of the finest wellness facilities in the city. Guests have access to an 18-metre indoor pool, Finnish sauna, hammam, heated Watsu pool, treatment rooms and an extensive gym and movement studio.

Dining is another major attraction. Ottolenghi Amsterdam, the celebrated chef’s first restaurant in the Netherlands, serves colourful, vegetable-led Mediterranean dishes centred around local produce, fermentation and cooking over fire. Taiko offers refined Japanese cuisine with influences from across Asia, including omakase experiences and an à la carte menu. Beneath the hotel’s glass ceiling, The Lounge remains a popular meeting place for coffee, lunch, cocktails and afternoon tea.
