Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam

Iconic hotel, where heritage meets modernity

Located between two gentle canals in the heart of the city, The Grand boasts a rich history, from a 15th-century convent to royal lodgings, to the headquarters of the Admiralty to the City Hall of Amsterdam. The hotel offers five-star luxury in a unique ambiance, furnished with French elegance and grandeur. The spacious accommodations, the exceptional food and beverage proposition, the historic meeting and event venues and the indulgent Sofitel SPA captivate and seduce everyone into visiting this hotel.

The Grand is based in the heart of the historical city centre. Many attractions are just a short walk from the hotel, including Dam Square, Madame Tussauds and de Bijenkorf. Just a short tram ride away, you'll find the Anne Frank House and iconic museums such as the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum. A boat trip on the Amsterdam canals is highly recommended.

The hotel is easily reachable by public transport and Amsterdam's central train station is just a 10-minute walk.

Julie R. Friends - 5/6/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Well, the hotel is beautiful. It is beginning to show its age. There was no attention to detail around the hotel as an example in my room. The walls were chipped where luggage had been hitting it for years. The paint in the bathroom is peeling. There was a chip in the sink. The restaurant where they posted to be their high-end restaurant was a disaster. They offered a buffet which was adequate. However, if you ordered something from the menu, it took over an hour to get. A cup of coffee took 10 to 15 minutes. When I walked in on my last day, every single table was dirty and had not been bussed. The staff walked by me no less than 15 times before I had to fly someone down to get a cup of coffee.
