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.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel itself was very nice and centrally located. Had drinks/snacks at Oriole - it was a good experience. The only reason I didn’t give the hotel a perfect score is because the bed in our room was awful. I think the mattress was badly worn out on one side and it caused me to sink in. I woke up with a terrible backache each morning.

Dear Mr. S., First and foremost thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay at Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam. I am truly pleased to read that you found our team helpful and friendly, and that you enjoyed our central location as well as your experience at Oriole. Your kind words about Filipo are greatly appreciated and will certainly be shared with him it means a lot to our team to receive such recognition. At the same time, I am sincerely sorry to learn about your experience with the bed. A restful night’s sleep is essential, and it is disappointing to hear that the mattress did not meet the level of comfort we strive to provide. Please accept our apologies for the discomfort and backache this caused. Rest assured, your comments have been shared with our housekeeping and engineering teams to review the mattress in that room and take the necessary action. Should you choose to stay with us again, please do not hesitate to inform me in advance. I would be delighted to personally oversee your room allocation and ensure your comfort preferences are fully met. If you would like to discuss this matter further, I would be more than happy to assist you. Please feel free to contact me by phone, or you may email me directly at gu… I truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you and your family back for a flawless stay in the future. Warm regards, Robin de Laat Guest Relations Officer

While checkin experience and the bar were great, much left to be desired about nightly staff. Those idiots (sorry, I really can’t find another word) were not letting me into the hotel citing “security measures” and repeatedly asked for my room number and the name. Sure, I have no issue with the name but honey I spend most of my time staying in different hotels: I don’t remember your damned room number at 1AM in the night. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to repeat my last name standing under the rain and cold until they finally let me in. This is the first and last time I will ever stay in this property. The staff was naturally unapologetic and kept citing “security measures” like we are standing in the middle of the warzone.
