Mandarin Oriental Group, a multinational hospitality company founded in 1963 and based in Hong Kong, China, boasting a relevant portfolio of luxury hotels, resorts, and vacation properties, has assumed the management of the emblematic Conservatorium Hotel in Amsterdam, effective immediately, marking its first property in the Netherlands and expanding its European portfolio.
The hotel that will operate as Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, Amsterdam and first opened in 2011 is located at Paulus Potterstraat, 50, a prime spot in Museumplein (Museum Square), steps from Major museums including Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and Stedelijk Museum as well as luxury shopping like P.C. Hoofstraat, was built in 1901 and it represents a unique blend of historic structure (Daniel Knuttel’s former bank/conservatorium) with modern, sleek interiors.
The property will maintain its existing local character and historic features under the new management, with plans to implement phased upgrades to rooms and suites, beginning with the Deluxe Roms.
The hotel’s lounge will undergo a design refresh and will place greater emphasis on afternoon tea service. The 1.000 - square metre Akasha Spa will continue to operate for hotel guests and members.
Mandarin Oriental has also announced new culinary developments for the property. In early 2026, chef Yotam Ottolenghi will open his first restaurant in the Netherlands at the hotel. The venue, inspired by Ottolenghi’s ROVI in London, will focus on a vegetable - led menu with sharing plates using sourced ingredients. The new restaurant will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the hotel’s glass atrium, with further details to be released in the first quarter of 2026.
The hotel’s existing restaurant, Taiko Cuisine that has operated at the property since 2014, will remain part of the culinary offering. Led by Head Chef Lars Drost, the restaurant will continue to serve Asian - inspired dishes with a focus on seasonal produce and classic techniques. Further updates on renovations and culinary offerings are expected as plan progress.
To celebrate the new management marking the rebranding, was held a ribbon - cutting ceremony, attended by representatives from Mandarin Oriental and he Akirov family, the hotel’s owner.
