Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam
A historic Amsterdam stay that never gets old
The property beautifully blends its Dutch history with French contemporary. This is evident when you take a closer look at the stairwells, stained-glass windows, pretty courtyards and other preserved corners of the hotel.
But there’s much more to explore beyond its rich history. Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam also provides luxurious accommodations (177 rooms and 52 suites, the latter come with attentive butler service), a rejuvenating spa (equipped with an indoor pool, a sauna and a hammam) and delicious dining (Bridges focuses on Dutch organic seafood with a French twist, and garden bistro Oriole serves Mediterranean plates).
