Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Gracefully located between two historic canals in scenic Amsterdam, Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam is a magnificent five-star hotel with a storied past. This remarkable building has served many purposes since the 15th century, from a convent to royal lodgings and even Amsterdam's City Hall, where Princess Beatrix married Claus von Amsberg in 1966. Today, it offers a harmonious mix of rich Dutch heritage and French elegance, inviting guests to immerse themselves in a unique 'Amsterdam' ambience with Parisian grandeur. The hotel's 178 rooms and 52 suites are a perfect reflection of this duality, featuring traditional and contemporary French design with distinct Dutch elements. The property has undergone thoughtful renovations to preserve its historical elements, while integrating modern flair to ensure the best of both worlds. 

Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam has an exclusive butler service for all one-bedroom suites, a rare offering in Amsterdam. Guests can also explore the captivating history of the building, which once housed esteemed guests including European royalty, with a private daily guided tour. The hotel's culinary experiences are another highlight, with exceptional gastronomic quality at Restaurant Bridges and authentic Mediterranean flavours at the Oriole Garden Bistro. For a serene escape, the private inner Garden Terrace is one of the city's best-kept secrets, offering a tranquil oasis away from the urban bustle. The hotel’s commitment to art is also evident in its stunning Art Deco wedding chamber, adorned with beautiful wall paintings and stained glass, and a mural by renowned artist Karel Appel, both considered invaluable art treasures. 

The property caters to couples seeking a romantic getaway, families, and multi-generational travellers, and those with a keen interest in history and culture. Its sophisticated setting and exceptional service also make it a perfect choice for corporate executives and high-end clientele. With major landmarks like the Royal Palace, Dam Square, and the Anne Frank House just a short walk away, it is perfectly suited for those who wish to explore the city's history, culture, and architecture.
