Luxury Netherlands Family Tours made for you

Set back from the Keizersgracht canal behind a 400 year old gateway that dates back to the site’s time as an eminent theatre, the vast mansion was completely renovated and reopened as a luxury boutique hotel at the turn of the millennium and is now regarded as one of the city’s finest. 40 individually designed rooms and suites range in size up to split level duplexes and grand suites, with interiors of varying boldness, from subdued natural woods and monochrome to daringly ornamented rooms referencing the Netherlands’ Asian colonial history. The Brasserie OCCO is a nicely relaxed setting for breakfast, lunch, drinks and dinner, but it is the Michelin starred Vinkeles restaurant that is the gastronomic highlight here, with delicate French cuisine served in a sunken dining room. While the secluded courtyard garden is a pleasant place to relax, there is a small fleet of bicycles parked outside for guests to rent and explore the city upon like a local. The Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank’s House, the Van Gogh museum, as well as a variety of chic shopping and café districts, are all nearby.

The Conservatorium Hotel takes residence in a magnificent Neo-Gothic building in the heart of the Museum Quarter, a former home of Amsterdam’s Sweelinck Conservatory of Music, with its rich historical narrative carefully woven throughout its glorious regeneration. 129 guestrooms and suites are spread over eight floors and range from a spacious superior room up to a penthouse suite. All rooms and suites include state of the art in room technology, luxurious linens and a private bar. Brushed-oak flooring and beige furniture define the cool autumnal colour scheme that is simultaneously modern and classic. The large bathrooms feature large rainfall showers, marble tubs and LCD mirror TVs. Central to the hotel’s design and lifestyle vision are its restaurants and bars. All dining here is under the direction of celebrated Dutch chef Schilo van Coevorden. Taiko restaurant sits in the spacious historic part of the hotel serving up contemporary Asian cuisine made from local, seasonal produce. The chic Tunes Bar is an elegant yet casual haven in which to enjoy classic drinks, cocktails, sushi and Asian tapas day and night, while the Conservatorium Brasserie and Lounge are located in the atrium, offering contemporary local dishes for all-day dining. Guests here have complimentary access to the divine Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Centre, a personal host assigned to them and there is also a shopping gallery with a hair salon and high-end luxury stores. Outside, the best shops, restaurants, museums and galleries are waiting to be explored within easy walking distance.
