Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam

Iconic hotel, where heritage meets modernity

Feel welcome and safe in the historical heart of Amsterdam while staying in our luxurious rooms. Taste culinary creations in Oriole Garden Bistro or fine dining restaurant Bridges. We are labeled ALL SAFE, our new elevated cleanliness protocols.

Emmy Stoel, Hotel Manager

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/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.

The Grand Goes Inferior

MakhdoomAliKhan 7/3/2022 TripAdvisor review

We had stayed in this property a decade ago and went to it because of our previous excellent experience. We discovered right from the time of check in that the Hotel had slumped almost in every respect. As a Diamond Accor member one was entitled to an upgrade if available. It was not offered. When we asked if an upgrade was available reluctantly the receptionist responded in the affirmative. He tried hard to persuade us to not take it but when we insisted he agreed to give it to us. Our luggage was moved. When we went for lunch our upgrade was withdrawn and our luggage moved back. We were told that the room had an electricity fault and could not be given us for safety reasons. Moments later it was given to another guest. In spite of DND signs on that door the Front Office continued to deny that the room was functional and now under occupation of another guest. Only the next day when we confronted the Front Office Manager she admitted that she had lied to us. She apologised and so did the General Manager who was very polite, decent and courteous but stonewalled all requests for an explanation while denying that the reason for such discriminatory treatment was our ethnicity. In spite of repeated reminders that our child had a severe nut allergy given at the time of check in, to every supervisor in the restaurant as soon as we got our table and to the waiter in the restaurant who took our order they managed to serve Nutella to our daughter as home prepared chocolate sauce causing a severe reaction. The child was sick all day and our plans ruined. There was no explanation. Both the quality and variety of food available has declined. The laundry in spite of repeated complaints continued to fold our trousers with our undergarments and iron them like pyjamas. The overall quality of laundry and pressing was also poor. Only the head concierge Niels Essani was a reminder that this was once a good property with great service and superb staff. He went out of his way to be helpful and nice.

Checks all boxes!

My short stay (2 nights) at the Sofitel Legend The Grand was perfect on all accounts. From the location to the front desk staff, the rooms, dining, service, cleanliness, etc. everything was fantastic. One of the things that makes a hotel stay most enjoyable is the helpfulness & friendliness of the staff, and the entire staff of the Sofitel couldn't have been any warmer. I truly enjoyed every moment at the property.

The staff were so friendly and accommodating. They took care of everything we needed and even somethings we didn’t know we needed like stroopwaffles with our turn down service. I would highly recommend staying here.

Great service. Great breakfast. Bridges tasting menu very good with excellent sommelier service. Room overlooking canal was lovely, although bathroom was “strange”.
