In an ambitious move to enhance its luxury offerings, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group is set to expand its presence in Europe with the addition of two prestigious properties: the Hotel Lutetia in Paris and the Conservatorium Hotel in Amsterdam. This strategic expansion, scheduled for early next year, is indicative of the brand’s commitment to blending rich history with modern luxury. The move not only reinvents these iconic hotels but also cements Mandarin Oriental’s position within the competitive luxury hotel market.
Originally opened in 1910, the Hotel Lutetia is a historic landmark situated in the vibrant Saint-Germain-des-Prés district on Paris’s Left Bank. Following a comprehensive renovation in 2018, this 184-room hotel is poised to reemerge as the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, Paris. Beyond its elegant accommodations, the hotel boasts the expansive Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Centre, designed to provide a sanctuary for guests seeking rejuvenation. Culinary enthusiasts will be drawn to its sophisticated dining venues—Brasserie Lutetia and Bar Josephine—both of which promise an exquisite gastronomic experience.
This rebranding not only aligns with Mandarin Oriental’s reputation for excellence but also highlights the hotel’s cultural significance in Paris. The fusion of sophisticated design, wellness facilities, and fine dining reflects a meticulous attention to guest experience that has become synonymous with the Mandarin Oriental brand.
In early 2026, the Conservatorium Hotel will undergo a metamorphosis into the Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, marking the brand’s inaugural foray into Amsterdam. Located in close proximity to the city’s renowned Museum Quarter, the hotel offers a unique blend of artistic inspiration and luxurious hospitality. The property, originally designed in the late 19th century, features 129 guest rooms, each elegantly designed to reflect the cultural richness of Amsterdam.
The hotel includes the Asian-inspired Taiko Restaurant and a versatile Brasserie & Lounge, both of which emphasize the Mandarin Oriental’s commitment to culinary excellence. Additionally, akin to Hotel Lutetia, it hosts an Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Centre, offering guests a chance to relax and reinvigorate amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.
Both the Hotel Lutetia and Conservatorium Hotel were previously part of the Set Collection, which caters to independent hotels. The transition to Mandarin Oriental signifies a strategic pivot for both properties, enhancing their visibility and marketability on an international scale. This move not only provides guests with an elevated luxury experience but also allows Mandarin Oriental to solidify its presence in landmark cities across Europe.
With these additions, Mandarin Oriental’s portfolio will expand to 41 hotels worldwide, further establishing its reputation as a leading luxury hotel brand. As travelers gradually return to exploring the world, these revamped properties are set to attract both local and international guests looking for unparalleled hospitality steeped in history and sophistication.
