Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam  

Between two historic canals in the heart of Amsterdam, this five-star luxury hotel sits steps from Dam Square and the Royal Palace. The Nine Streets, Anne Frank House, Van Gogh Museum, P.C. Hooftstraat and Central Station are all within easy walking distance.

Housed in a centuries-old landmark that once served as a convent and city hall, the property pairs French elegance with Dutch design. There are 178 rooms and suites with modern bathrooms and rain showers; select suites offer dedicated butler service, dressing gowns, slippers and contemporary in-room tech.

Unwind at a full-service spa with a heated indoor pool, sauna, hammam and fitness area. A quiet inner garden and sunny terrace provide an urban oasis, while lively bars and a classic brown café keep evenings interesting—expect canal-side mornings and city-center energy.

Nineteen meeting and event spaces are on site, five of them listed as historic monuments. Free WiFi is included and high-speed wireless internet is available for guests who need faster connections.

A fine-dining seafood restaurant serves multi-course chef menus with curated wine pairings. An all-day bistro offers Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Enjoy cocktails and local beers at the bar or brown café, or relax with a signature afternoon tea in the library lounge and sunlit garden terrace.
