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.

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.

Perfectly adequate for a one-night stay

Gm Couples - 4/9/2024 Confirmed reviews ALL

Arrived early and was offered a complimentary upgrade due to Gold status. Room wasn't ready yet (it was only 9:15am), so we left bags and went out sightseeing. The front desk called about 11:20 to say the room was ready, and we appreciated this courtesy and that the room was ready well in advance of normal check-in time. So far, so good. When we got back to the hotel around 16:00, the front desk checked ID before providing the room keys - another positive as it showed they are serious about security. The room itself was fine. There were high ceilings and large windows opening onto the canal. The bathroom was large, though strangely up a step from the bedroom, and there was a smell of bad drains. Toiletries provided were Dyptique, so high quality. Plenty of large towels, plus bathrobes and slippers. Shower pressure was good, though the shower leaked so the floor mats were constantly soaking. Room décor was a bit dated. It could do with a refresh I think. The hotel was kind enough to provide a cake for my husbands birthday, which we appreciated. Dinner in Bridges restaurant was OK. We loved the early courses (scallop, langoustine and caviar), but the latter dishes (in particular cauliflower, pikeperch, and the mango desert) were underwhelming. Wine matches were excellent and the sommelier was very knowledgeable and engaging. Overall though, this was priced on a par with Michelin-starred restaurants (€500+ for 2 people), and didn't live up to that standard. Service was initially very slow - after 30 mins, we were still waiting to order, and the waiting staff seemed very stressed This did improve as the evening went on, but sadly that was as the food quality (in our opinion) started to decline, so it never quite lived up to the price tag. The friandises promised on the menu never materialised - presumably because we didn't order coffee given the late hour. Breakfast the next morning was a similar affair. Staff seemed stressed, and orders were incomplete. My dim sum was underwhelming, the Dutch pancake had far too much cinnamon on it, completely drying out my mouth. My husband ordered scrambled eggs with sides of sausage, bacon, mushrooms, and hash brown. What turned up was scrambled egg with mushrooms cooked into the mixture, with bacon on the side. He had to chase for the sausages and the has brown never did reach us. The hotel location is great, but be aware that there are very busy pubs nearby, so there is some street noise in the can view rooms. Front desk was helpful, and accommodating, rooms clean and adequate, but the restaurant needs some improvements to live up to the price tag and provide a truly luxury experience.

Dear Ms M., We very much appreciate you taking the time to leave such an extensive and clear review regarding your stay at the Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam. Your comments will definitely be shared with our team. I am sure that this feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our staff as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be even more pleasant than the previous one. Sincerely, Frances Kaagman Guest Relations
