With F&B central to its identity, the Conservatorium Hotel becomes Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, Amsterdam, under the management of Mandarin Oriental.

In early 2026, chef, restaurateur and author Yotam Ottolenghi will open his first restaurant in the Netherlands at the hotel. Inspired by Ottolenghi’s London restaurant ROVI, the new venue will centre on a vegetable-led menu of colourful sharing plates, primarily prepared using locally sourced ingredients. It will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner within the hotel’s glass atrium, with further details to be announced in the first quarter of 2026.

Taiko Cuisine will remain a core element of the hotel’s culinary programme. Led by Head Chef Lars Drost, the Asian-inspired fine dining restaurant continues to develop its modern interpretations of Far Eastern flavours, grounded in classic techniques and seasonal produce. Since opening in 2014, Taiko has established itself as one of Amsterdam’s most recognised dining destinations for both hotel guests and local diners.

Alongside its culinary direction, Mandarin Oriental will introduce considered updates to the property that respect the Conservatorium Hotel’s heritage while enhancing the overall guest experience. The lounge will be refreshed with a new design and a stronger focus on afternoon tea, while continuing its long-standing role as The Living Room of Amsterdam.

“Becoming Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, Amsterdam marks an exciting new chapter for this iconic building and for our colleagues,” says Susanne Hatje, General Manager. “The Conservatorium has always stood for craftsmanship and culture, with a deep connection to the local community. Joining Mandarin Oriental allows us to elevate these qualities further through our legendary service and a truly personalised guest experience.”
