In an exciting move set to enhance its prestigious portfolio, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group is gearing up to incorporate two historic properties in Europe: the Hotel Lutetia in Paris and the Conservatorium Hotel in Amsterdam. This strategic expansion signifies the brand’s commitment to blending tradition with modern luxury, reinforcing its reputation on the global stage. With both hotels expected to emerge as flagship locations in their respective cities, the company is poised to attract discerning travelers seeking an exceptional experience.
Originally established in 1910, the Hotel Lutetia epitomizes Parisian elegance and history. Following a significant restoration completed in 2018, this iconic hotel will be rebranded as the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, Paris. The hotel boasts 184 tastefully designed rooms and is situated on the prestigious Left Bank, specifically in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, an area celebrated for its rich cultural heritage.
The Lutetia is not merely an accommodation; it offers a holistic retreat featuring a spacious Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Centre that caters to guests looking to rejuvenate their bodies and minds. Furthermore, the hotel is home to renowned food and beverage venues such as Brasserie Lutetia and Bar Josephine, which will be further elevated under the Mandarin Oriental banner. This move will not only attract loyal patrons of the Hotel Lutetia but also new visitors eager to experience its sophisticated offerings.
Amsterdam’s Cultural Heart: Conservatorium Hotel
Set to be rebranded as the Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium in January 2026, the Conservatorium Hotel is strategically located near the bustling Museum Quarter of Amsterdam. This property joins Mandarin Oriental’s global network as its first establishment in the vibrant city, an exciting step for the brand. With 129 well-appointed rooms, the hotel maintains the charm of its late-19th-century structure while offering modern amenities that cater to the contemporary traveler.
During its impending renovation, the Conservatorium Hotel will remain operational, ensuring that guests continue to receive exceptional service amidst the updates. The hotel’s Asian-inspired Taiko Restaurant and the casual dining offered at Brasserie & Lounge are poised to delight food enthusiasts, further enhancing the overall guest experience.
With both hotels being part of the Set Collection prior to the transition, their rebranding under the Mandarin Oriental umbrella signifies a critical pivot for the group’s expansion strategy. The Mandarin Oriental’s presence in Paris will grow with the introduction of the Hotel Lutetia, becoming the brand’s second venue in the city alongside the already established Mandarin Oriental, Paris.
Overall, with a current portfolio of 41 hotels globally, these additions represent a significant opportunity for Mandarin Oriental to strengthen its foothold in Europe’s luxury hospitality market. The rebranding of these iconic properties not only reflects the company’s growth strategy but also reaffirms its dedication to delivering timeless luxury while retaining the unique characteristics that make these hotels beloved by locals and travelers alike.
