Michelin Guide "One of Amsterdam's finest hotels... Pure, unadulterated luxury."
Concierge "You will sacrifice a canal view, but the location of this bustling hotel, opened in February 2012 directly across from the Museumplein, more than compensates."

The cavernous center is divided into spaces aligned with the four elements, but if you have to choose, forget earth, fire, and air and head for the water spa, which features a watsu pool and hammam treatments.

"The Conservatorium Hotel delivers a true five-pearl experience in Amsterdam's residential Museum Quarter." Full review
Star Service "Although it lacks the intimate room count of a true boutique-hotel, this creatively transformed Gothic fortress features some of the most dramatic architectural-scapes in Amsterdam." Full review
Frommer's "The new kid on the block of competitive upmarket hotels in Amsterdam, the Conservatoriun opened in 2011 and occupies the former neo-Gothic Sweelinck Conservatory of Music." Full review
Afar Magazine "The building itself harmoniously blends old and new, with modern steel beams and glass walls complementing original brickwork and wooden beams." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This 129-room hotel with an arsenal of standout features, offers spare but opulent interiors, courteous service (especially praiseworthy in a city known for a lack thereof), and serious wellness amenities." Full review

"Italian contemporary style – and the best lobby-lounge in town – Conservatorium is infused into a 19th-century bank building, bang in between Museumplein and Amsterdam’s chicest fashion street." Full review
goop "While it takes up prime real estate in a former music conservatory just a stone’s throw from the Rijks and Museumplein, Conservatorium has a lot more going for it than location alone." Full review
Fodor's "An impressive early 20th-century bank turned music school is a visual feast, with a glass-roofed, tree-filled courtyard lobby and dramatically modern guest rooms." Full review

Michelin Guide "The Estherea is a beautiful, elegant hotel full of charm."
Frommer's "If you like to stay at elegant, not-too-big hotels, you're sure to be pleased by the Estheréa." Full review
DK Eyewitness "An elegant, family-run hotel that has been in the same careful hands for more than 60 years."
Rough Guide "Comfortable four-star converted from a couple of sympathetically modernized canal houses."
Star Service "Born as a small post-war inn, the original owner's three grandchildren continue to operate this refined yet friendly hotel that bears a sensational traditional style and generally very high standards." Full review

Note: Be sure to request one of the hotel's iPads at check-in, as these are a wellspring of information, and not just about the hotel's facilities, but also about the city and some fun off-the-beaten-path sights.
Time Out "Spread over several charming canal houses at the epicentre of the elegant canal district, this private hotel has been run by the same family for decades." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Hotel Estheréa takes its beauty seriously – its prettiness gets plenty of attention from guests, with florals – live and textile – dominating, but not overwhelming, the decor." Full review
OysterLuxury
"Hotel Estherea takes a maximalist approach to its interior design, and treads the fine line between plush extravagance and gaudiness with aplomb." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"Hotel Estheréa has an eccentric charm, created by décor that manages to be at once zany, plush, and warmly welcoming." Full review
Fodor's "Flowery wallpaper, boldly upholstered furniture, antiques, and screaming crystal chandeliers are all put together harmoniously at this gorgeously designed and cozy, family-owned hotel." Full review
