An elegant and sophisticated hotel along two of Amsterdam’s central canals, Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam offers a stylish place to stay near many of the city’s highlights. The grand stone building dates back to the 15th century, and the entrance is in a secluded courtyard, offering a quiet haven in the middle of the city.
The historical lobby is chic, with arched cream walls, dark furnishings and a bright marble reception desk, while stained-glass windows along the marble staircase recall the building’s past as a convent. The rooms combine French elegance with a contemporary feel, mixing muted shades of pink, red or green with original features like wooden beams.
The hotel is home to two restaurants: Bridges, which offers international cuisine, and Oriole, which serves a menu of Mediterranean cuisine. The Flying Dutchman bar offers pub food and snacks with a large drink menu, while Library ‘Or’ serves a fireside afternoon tea alongside shelves of books. There’s also a canal-side garden terrace where you can enjoy lunch, dinner or drinks.
We love this elegant hotel for its effortless blend of contemporary design and historic structure. Its courtyard entrance makes it a serene spot in the heart of the city.
