History and architecture
The building was originally constructed between 1899 and 1901 as the headquarters of the Rijkspostspaarbank, designed by Dutch architect Daniël Knuttel in a mix of neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau styles.
In 1983, the building became home to the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, the city's music conservatory.
After the conservatory moved in 2008, the building was converted into a hotel by The Set Hotels, with interiors designed by Italian architect Piero Lissoni.
Among other things, a modern glass-covered hall was added, creating a harmonious contrast between old and new.
Guests have expressed appreciation for the hotel's combination of modern luxury and historic elegance, as well as its clean and well-maintained facilities.
The staff is often described as attentive and friendly, contributing to a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The hotel's location near cultural attractions and shopping areas also receives positive reviews.
However, some guests have mentioned minor issues with noise levels and affordability.
