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.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful and historic hotel. My only suggestion would be for better lighting in the rooms/bathroom. It was hard for me to see. Maybe brighter bulbs would be better. We stayed in a suite and it was great! Suite #731

We greatly appreciate your constructive suggestion regarding the lighting in the room and bathroom. We understand how important good lighting is for comfort and functionality, and your feedback will certainly be taken into consideration.

It is especially rewarding to hear that our location offered you the best of both worlds, allowing you to explore the lively heart of Amsterdam while returning to the peaceful sanctuary of The Grand. We are also pleased that our team could accommodate your early arrival and arrange a room for you ahead of the regular check in time.

The hotel was beautiful and amazing. The staff was very attentive, anticipating our every need. The location in the city is the best you can find. Our only drawback was the overly soft beds. We didn’t sleep well at all because of this. Had the beds been a bit firmer and the pillows less lumpy it would have been an excellent experience.

My friend and I had a very pleasant four day break in Sofitel Le Grand, it's an excellent hotel with a well trained, friendly and professional staff, we think it's the best Sofitel in Europe. The traditional building is interesting and comfortable, we have very few negative things to say about the experience. The only criticism we'd mention is that the bar isn't very comfortable and has no soft seating. Also the sheer size of the bar counter limits the seating room available to guests.
Dear Declan M.,
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful feedback following your four day stay at The Grand.
To be described as the “best Sofitel in Europe” is a truly special compliment, and we are delighted that you and your friend had such an enjoyable time with us. It is particularly rewarding to read your kind words about the friendliness and professionalism of our ambassadors, as well as your appreciation for the historic character and comfort of The Grand.
We are also pleased that you enjoyed the breakfast at Bridges and that your experience was positive throughout your stay. Your comments regarding the comfort and seating arrangement of our bar are equally appreciated and will be shared with the relevant team.
Thank you again for your continued loyalty as an ALL Diamond member and for your generous recommendation. We very much look forward to welcoming you both back to Amsterdam for another magnifique stay.

Well located, lovely staff and extremely comfy bed. Overall we had a great stay but there were a few issues. We were upgraded from a junior suite to a duplex suite but since I have a bad back and sciatica this wasn't very good for me and the downstairs was largely unused as it was difficult for me to get up and down the very steep stairs. I like to be all on one level. The suite was also rather dated. The bath emptied on its own when sitting in it...the plug didn't work! I'd have preferred to have had the room I had originally booked. On going to bed the first evening I threw back the sheets to get into bed and there was a blood stain on the inside of the duvet cover. We rang reception and someone came almost immediately to change the whole bed, but it was a bit inconvenient as we were exhausted after travelling. We had some lovely evening meals and breakfast was lovely but it was extremely busy and it felt understaffed. We had to wait a long time for drinks etc and we heard several people complaining. The staff were lovely and professional throughout though and willingly filled our water bottles for us each morning despite being so busy. All in all a pleasant stay, but just one or two things that let it down.

Our stay at the Sofitel Legend was fine. It was not a 5 star experience. The hotel room was mostly comfortable although the mattress was soft and not even. In addition, nothing was provided to make it a 5 star experience. The breakfast buffet was not great. The organization of it made it hard to see what was available. The sections were spread out and there were not plates in every section so you had to walk back and forth. There was a line to get seated and they only had one person seating so it took too long to get seated, and the person seating was not very welcoming.
Dear Raina K. C.,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback following your stay at The Grand.
While we are pleased that you appreciated our central location, the cleanliness of your room, and the warm service and atmosphere you experienced in our lounge, I am sorry that your overall stay did not reflect the five star experience we strive to provide.
Your comments regarding the comfort of the mattress and the functionality of the bathroom have been carefully noted. The Sofitel MyBed is designed to provide exceptional comfort, and we regret that your experience did not reflect this. We have also shared your feedback regarding the connectivity and functionality of My Media with the relevant team.
I am particularly sorry to read about your experience at breakfast at Bridges. The waiting time, organization of the buffet and interaction upon requesting another table clearly affected your experience. Your detailed suggestions regarding the buffet layout and presentation are valuable and will be shared with our Food & Beverage team.
Thank you again for your constructive feedback. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the refined and attentive experience you expected from The Grand.
Warm regards,

We were warmly welcomed by your lovely staff ,booking in promptly with a drink and a apprieciated room upgrade. we used the spa , restaurant and bars for cocktails, the breakfast staff were all efficiant and friendly the food was something to look forward to.
We have stayed in many 5* hotels in Amsterdam a few times a year for 25 years and yours is in our top 3 my only complaint is we found the Bed uncompfortable the topper was changed after the first night yet it still felt hard and lumpy, its the only reason I gave 9/10 everything else was perfect.
Dear Ms. T.
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful feedback following your stay at The Grand.
It is a great compliment to read that, after 25 years of visiting five star hotels in Amsterdam, you consider The Grand among your top three. We are delighted that you felt so warmly welcomed by our ambassadors and appreciated the room upgrade, as well as your experiences at the Sofitel SPA, our restaurants and bars. It is especially rewarding to hear that our team came across as genuinely friendly and worked so well together.
We are also pleased that breakfast at Bridges was something to look forward to each morning and that you enjoyed the beautifully presented and well balanced cocktails.
I am sorry, however, that the comfort of our Sofitel MyBed did not meet your expectations, despite our team changing the topper after your first night. We truly appreciate you highlighting this, as your comfort remains an essential part of the experience we wish to provide.
Thank you again for your generous recommendation. We very much hope to welcome you both back to The Grand during one of your future visits to Amsterdam.
