Paris’ Hôtel Lutetia and Amsterdam’s Conservatorium Hotel Join Mandarin Oriental Group

Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has revealed plans to incorporate two historic European hotels into its collection by early 2025: Hôtel Lutetia in Paris and the Conservatorium Hotel in Amsterdam. The decision is pending the completion of consultations with relevant Works Councils.

Upon transaction completion, Hôtel Lutetia will rebrand as Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, Paris and the Conservatorium Hotel will become Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, Amsterdam, in January 2026. The Amsterdam hotel will remain open during a comprehensive upgrade. Adding these two hotels is a part of the Group’s growth strategy under Group Chief Executive Laurent Kleitman, who aims to strengthen its presence in Europe and enhance its global portfolio.

The Mandarin Oriental Group is committed to preserving each hotel’s historical significance and architectural grandeur while integrating its luxury hospitality approach.

Laurent Kleitman, Group Chief Executive of Mandarin Oriental, said the new long-term management agreements are central to the company’s strategy of expanding its brand’s presence in popular destinations. Incorporating Hôtel Lutetia, 115 years after its opening, further strengthens Mandarin Oriental’s foothold in the luxury market.

Hôtel Lutetia, founded in 1910, is a symbol of Parisian elegance and culture. Over the years, it has hosted luminaries like Picasso, Matisse, Charles de Gaulle, and James Joyce. After a comprehensive restoration, it reopened in 2018, blending its historical heritage with contemporary luxuries. The hotel offers traditional elegance, modern amenities, and 184 spacious rooms, including 47 suites.

The Conservatorium Hotel in Amsterdam’s renowned Museum Quarter blends historical grandeur and modern sophistication. It features 129 spacious rooms and suites. The hotel also offers innovative Asian-inspired dishes at Taiko Restaurant and all-day dining at Brasserie & Lounge.

Alfred Akirov, Founder of Locka Holding BV, which owns the hotels, expressed his confidence that Mandarin Oriental’s hospitality expertise would further enhance these iconic properties. The hotels are looking forward to collaborating with Mandarin Oriental to rebrand and bring new energy to their offerings.
