Standing on the famous site of Amsterdam’s former Sweelinck Conservatory of Music, the Conservatorium hotel in Amsterdam opened at the end of 2011. This magnificent Neo-Gothic building was originally built at the end of the 19th Century and in its new incarnation, it has been transformed into a contemporary luxury lifestyle hotel.

The Conservatorium hotel is ideally located in the heart of the city’s major museum square (Museumplein) and the Royal Concertgebouw (Royal Concert hall). It is close to the fashion district of P.C. Hooftstraat and Van Baerlestraat, with unrivalled access to all of the capital’s cultural destinations including
the Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk Museum and Van Gogh Museum. The hotel is close to the city’s best shops, restaurants and cafes and perfectly placed for a wander in the nearby Vondelpark. It is also just a short stroll away from the charming lanes of the Jordaan neighbourhood, one of the oldest neighbourhoods of Amsterdam. The famous 17th-century gabled houses dotting the grand canals of the Dutch Golden Age as well as the bustling
business and design quarters nearby are within easy reach on foot or by bike.

DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
The building was originally designed by the Dutch architect Daniel Knuttel as the Rijkspostspaarbank at the end of the 19th century. It heralded the regeneration of the Museumplein, an area previously derelict. Knuttel was praised for his ability to fuse simplicity and functionality, and the award-winning Milan-based furniture and interiors designer Piero Lissoni has embraced this tradition through the reincarnation of this spectacular building 100 years later. Known for his austere lines, demure fabrics and shades of grey with occasional bright accents, Lissoni is considered one of the most prominent and exciting contemporary Italian designers. His clean designs are a hybrid of modernist and contemporary chic and contrast playfully
with natural daylight throughout the building’s spaces. Furniture from leading Italian manufacturers such as Living Divani, Kartell, Cassina and other design classics sit prominently in all communal spaces while accent pieces such as vintage Asian rugs provide a sense of familiar comfort.

ROOMS & SUITES
With eight floors and 129 guestrooms and suites, guests can choose accommodation ranging from a spacious superior room up to a penthouse suite. All rooms and suites include state-ofthe-art in-room technology and feature nice touches such as luxury linens, free high-speed wireless internet and private bars. Brushed-oak flooring and beige furniture define the cool autumnal colour scheme that is both modern and classic at the same time. The bathrooms are big and opulently designed with large rainfall showers, marble tubs, bathroom LCD mirror TVs and gorgeously plump micro-cotton towels.

FOOD & DRINKS VENUES
All dining at the Conservatorium Hotel is under the direction of the celebrated Dutch chef Schilo van Coevorden. His global experience is clearly demonstrated in his cooking; offering diners delicious interpretations of classic dishes created from fresh, seasonal produce.
