Perfectly situated in Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter — home to the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum — the Conservatorium hotel cleverly combines the historic heritage of the building with contemporary, elegant design.
Constructed in 1897, the building was originally designed as the Rijkspostspaarbank (Dutch savings bank) by local architect Daniel Knuttel before housing the music school from which the modern property got its name: Sweelinck Conservatorium.
In 2011, the hotel opened its doors with a sophisticated design honoring the building’s rich history, while at the same time transforming it into a modern luxury property with superb service, state-of-the-art rooms, a shopping gallery and a 10,700-square-foot spa for a great Amsterdam stay.
- Upon arrival,
you’ll be assigned a personal host who couples the knowledge and skills of concierge
and guest relations to make sure your Amsterdam experience will be
unforgettable.
- Every Saturday
and Sunday, enjoy live performances from the students of the Conservatorium van
Amsterdam music school in the hotel’s magnificent atrium, which has
floor-to-ceiling windows and an awe-inspiring glass ceiling.
- Reserve one of
the hotel’s three signature suites — the Concerto Two Bedroom Suite, I Love Amsterdam
Suite or Penthouse Suite. Besides being the epitome of luxury, these sumptuous
accommodations offer spectacular views of the city.
- As a Conservatorium
guest, you’ll gain complimentary access to the Akasha Holistic Wellbeing
Centre, which boasts seven treatment rooms, a 60-foot lap pool, a sauna, a Jacuzzi, an exclusive Watsu pool, a private
hammam and a gym.
- Milan-based
furniture and interior designer Piero Lissoni guided the creation of the stylish
hotel. As a result, all communal spaces feature furniture from leading Italian
manufacturers such as Living Divani, Kartell and Cassina.
- If you plan to
visit one of the nearby museums (especially the Rijksmuseum), make sure you buy
your ticket in advance to avoid waiting in line for hours.
- Not all rooms
have a direct view of Amsterdam’s streets — some accommodations look out over
the hotel’s atrium. If it’s jaw-dropping city vistas you are after, book one of
the signature suites.
- To conserve the
building’s historical integrity, many of the rooms and suites of the Amsterdam hotel
are duplexes. So be sure to keep that in mind when booking if you have
difficulties with climbing stairs.
- The spacious
rooms and suites combine neutral gray tones with occasional bright accents, a
style for which interior designer Lissoni is known.
- All accommodations
feature state-of-the-art in-room technology, free Wi-Fi and a large rain shower. Most rooms also have a bath.
- For the best glimpses
of the city, book the I Love Amsterdam Suite. This spacious room features a rooftop terrace with
a spectacular 360-degree view of Amsterdam.
- The 1,830-square-foot
Penthouse Suite is lined almost entirely with floor-to-ceiling windows that look
out over the atrium and the Rijksmuseum. For ultimate privacy, it has a separate
entrance and access to the garage.
- All dining is
under the direction of executive chef Schilo van Coevorden.
- The cuisine at
this luxury hotel skews in a distinctly Asian direction. There’s even a sake
sommelier on hand to help you select the ideal sip to accompany your meal.
- Taiko restaurant is named after a Japanese
drum, not only because the eatery serves modern Asian cuisine, but also because
it used to be the percussion classroom during the building’s years as a music
school.
At the sleek, modern, Tokyo-inspired Taiko Bar, enjoy contemporary Asian bites like sushi and lobster gyoza alongside unusual spins on cocktails, like the Taiko Negroni, featuring housemade coconut gin, lemongrass Campari and plum sake.
