Get ready for a new type of luxury hotel. The ground breaking contemporary ‘The Set’ brand from Visionary designers Alfred and Georgi Akirov have recently launched their first hotel in Amsterdam – The Conservatorium Hotel.
It looks good enough to be a primary reason to visit Amsterdam.
The 129-room hotel is located in the heart of Museumplein where some of the world’s most famous galleries and museums sit side by side.
Housed in a magnificent turn of the century neo-gothic building that used to function as Amsterdam’s former Sweelinck music school, the Conservatorium Hotel will offer guests an experience that is both locally oriented and world-class, bringing a new sophistication to a city that is currently enjoying significant resurgent interest.
Paying homage to the building’s original lofty ceilings, almost half of the rooms have been configured into stunning duplex layout with oversized functional windows and exposed structural beams.
Commenting on the opening, Group CEO Massimo Ianni said; “We conceived the Conservatorium Hotel in the belief that a hotel should be referential to its location, good design must be functional and exceptional service should be friendly. It is fitting that these are also intrinsically Dutch values and it is our hope that, in its newest guise”.
Under the direction of celebrated Dutch chef, Schilo van Coevorden, the Conservatorium Brasserie and Tunes Restaurant – the specialty restaurant provide seasonal menus, reflecting the Netherlands’ super natural products and history as a global trading center.
Similarly Tunes Bar acknowledges the heritage and liberal diversity of Amsterdam, boasting an exceptional selection of gins, paying homage to the Dutch provenance of the spirit, together with an extensive list of both traditional and innovative cocktails, a gourmet fusion tapas menu and an elevated smoking lounge.
Look out for more luxury hotels from ‘The Set’, based on their debut, this is one design team which cannot be ignored.
