The visionary owner, Georgi Akirov, has unveiled one-of-a-kind Conservatorium hotel, a member of DesignHotelsTM, following the meticulous transformation of one of Amsterdam's most iconic buildings…
Akirov appointed the award-winning Milan-based designer Piero Lissoni to oversee the evolution of the property and combine a classic and contemporary aesthetic with great aplomb. Lissoni sought to pay homage to the building's history while adding his own inimitable touches such as the glass-covered atrium and ubiquitous exposed beams.
Conservatorium Hotel Amsterdam occupies the famous site of Amsterdam's former Sweelinck music conservatorium. Originally built at the end of the 19th Century and conceived by the renowned Dutch architect Daniel Knuttel as the Rijkspostspaarbank Building, the construction heralded an urban regeneration of the Museumplein, an area which had been left 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 re-incarnation of this spectacular building 100 years later.
The Hotel offers world leading spa and gym facilities at Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Center including an exclusive indoor swimming pool, a signature spa, cutting-edge gym and a yoga studio.
