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.

GautamS16 1/19/2026 TripAdvisor review

What a lovely stay! Thank you. The service was impeccable. Rooms were very well appointed. Bed was extremely comfortable. Had the pleasure of ordering some room service...arrived promptly and was delicious. Concierge were extremely knowledgeable. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Absolutely not up to sofitel standards

P M 1/18/2026 TripAdvisor review

Beautiful building in the center of Amsterdam. Everything is within walking distance. The location is perfect. Beyond that, it is absolutely not up to Sofitel standards. The rooms are dated, the carpets are stained, and the bathroom has only one sink made of a kind of molded plastic that feels very low quality. The fridge motor is noisy. In addition, our room was not cleaned on January 17. It was only attended to at 6:30 p.m. after two reminders at reception—and when I say “cleaned,” only the towels were changed. The carpet was not vacuumed, the trash was not emptied, and the bed was carelessly made, without pulling the fitted sheet or fluffing the pillows. In short, the hotel has clear management and quality control issues. No commercial gesture was offered. Not even an apology at checkout. So I would advise you to stay away. It is expensive for what it is.

We were the first night given a room next to the elevator, which was very noisy. The next day we were upgraded without hesitation, thank you! The spa is totally outdated, built in the 70ies, with mold on the ceiling, steam room is not really hot and the sauna very small. Needs renovation and upgrade urgently!
