Conservatorium Hotel premieres ‘Ultimate Amsterdam 750’ experience to celebrate the city’s 750th birthday

The storied Conservatorium Hotel opened its doors in 2011 as the first and only Modern Grand Hotel in the city’s vibrant Museum Quarter. The area’s rich history and cultural significance serves as a powerful reminder of the city’s lasting legacy and its global contributions. As the city prepares to celebrate its 750th birthday, Amsterdam 750 – a collective initiated by the Amsterdam municipality – announces year-long celebrations, beginning in October 2024.

To commemorate these celebrations, the Conservatorium Hotel introduces the exclusive ‘Ultimate Amsterdam 750’ experience, a one-off offering that seamlessly blends luxury with culture. The hotel will partner with pinnacles of the Dutch cultural sphere to encompass the essence of Amsterdam – including collaborations with world-renowned art photographer Bastiaan Woudt, the prestigious Van Gogh Museum, Dutch haute couture designer Edwin Oudshoorn and more. Together, these experiences provide an unparalleled stay in the Dutch capital that pays homage to the city’s 750 years of existence.
