Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has announced the option to sign two properties to its portfolio: Hôtel Lutetia in Paris and the Conservatorium Hotel in Amsterdam.
The acceptance of the offer is subject to the completion of a consultation process with the relevant Works Councils.
Following completion of the transaction, Hôtel Lutetia will be rebranded as Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, Paris, while the Conservatorium Hotel is set to be rebranded as Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, Amsterdam in January 2026, following a comprehensive upgrade during which the hotel will remain open.
Hôtel Lutetia
Founded in 1910 by the Boucicaut family, owners of department store Le Bon Marché, Hôtel Lutetia has long been a symbol of Parisian elegance and culture.
Designed in Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles, the hotel became a hub for the city’s intellectual and artistic elite before the hotel was requisitioned by occupying forces during World War II. After the liberation, it served as a refuge for displaced survivors returning from concentration camps.
The 184-key Hôtel Lutetia underwent a comprehensive restoration led by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte and reopened in 2018. Many of the 74 suites have been designed by creative icons, including the Saint Germain Penthouse by Francis Ford Coppola and Suite Parisienne by Isabelle Huppert.
Onsite highlights include the 7,500-square-foot Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Centre and Brasserie Lutetia, which has been a Paris dining institution for more than a century. The property also features distinct artwork, such as a stained glass ceiling in the central salon and restored Romanesque frescoes at Bar Josephine.
Conservatorium Hotel
Located in Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter, the 129-room Conservatorium Hotel was originally designed in the late 19th century by architect Daniel Knuttel. With a storied past as a former bank and music conservatory, today it stands as a symbol of refined luxury, reimagined by Italian architect Piero Lissoni.
F&B options include Taiko restaurant, under the guidance of chef Schilo van Coevorden, as well a brasserie and lounge, which offers all-day dining beneath a stunning glass atrium.
