The house
Mandarin OrientalNeo-Gothic atrium showcase
A light-flooded architectural hub where Milanese minimalism meets grand Dutch heritage, buzzing with gallery-goers, musicians, and locals.

The double-height classroom and studio floors naturally lend themselves to split-level loft-style rooms and suites, and soundproofing, naturally, was a concern from the very start.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in the Museumkwartier, the hotel is across the street from the Van Gogh and Stedelijk museums, with leafy Vondelpark nearby.
The rooms
Duplex suites occupy the former music classrooms, pairing double-height windows and brushed-oak flooring with travertine bathrooms.
The gym and sauna
Bring a swimsuit.
The 150-square-meter fitness center looks across the courtyard, and a slatted Finnish sauna offers post-workout recovery.
The spa
Underground treatment suites at Akasha offer Japanese water-shiatsu therapies alongside private and aromatic hammams.
Restaurant
Taiko Cuisine
Chef Lars Drost serves Asian-inspired cuisine in the former drum-practice hall, framed by exposed brick and herringbone floors.
Restaurant
Ottolenghi Amsterdam
Yotam Ottolenghi's glass-atrium restaurant serves vegetable-forward Mediterranean dishes crafted from seasonal Dutch produce.
At the table
Taiko Bar pours cocktails alongside DJ sets from Thursday to Saturday, and The Lounge serves afternoon tea.
How it began
Built in 1897 as a postal savings bank, the complex later became a music conservatoire before Piero Lissoni reimagined the interiors.
