About this hotel
General information
Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, Amsterdam occupies a neo-Gothic building from the late 19th century in the Museum Quarter. Built for the national postal savings bank and later home to a music conservatory, it now sets its historic façades, arched windows and old timber beams against calm contemporary interiors of natural tones, dark wood, travertine and abundant daylight.
At its heart is a glass-roofed atrium holding The Lounge, known locally as Amsterdam’s living room, with Ottolenghi Amsterdam alongside and the Akasha spa and its 18-metre pool below. A collection of Dutch art runs through the interiors, from emerging local artists to established names, and the Glass Library shows ceramics and painting by Dutch makers. Several event rooms serve meetings and celebrations, the largest being the third-floor Symphony Room for up to 130 guests.
Location
The hotel stands on Paulus Potterstraat in the middle of the Museum Quarter, directly opposite the Stedelijk Museum. The Van Gogh Museum is a two-minute walk away, the Concertgebouw four minutes and the Rijksmuseum six; the boutiques of P.C. Hooftstraat and the Vondelpark are both two minutes on foot. The concierge arranges private airport transfers.
Spa
Akasha blends Eastern healing traditions with Western techniques. Its menu covers signature therapies, facials, beauty treatments and hydrotherapy rituals tailored to each guest. The thermal area includes an 18-metre pool, a hot tub, a heated Watsu pool, a dry Finnish sauna and a hammam. Treatments are for guests aged 18 and over; from Friday to Sunday the spa is reserved for hotel guests and members.

Children aged 3 to 14 may use the pool with an adult daily from 7 to 10 am and on Wednesdays from 2 to 3.30 pm; the gym, sauna, hammam and hot tub are for guests aged 16 and over. Cots and sofa beds can be added, connecting rooms suit families, and the concierge plans family outings from the NEMO Science Museum to Artis zoo.
