The history of Amsterdam reflected
All 178 rooms, including 52 suites offer a harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary French design, including Dutch style elements. Guests staying in one of our 30 spacious suites, including Prestige Suites and above, enjoy the exclusive Butler Service, offering a truly elevated and personalized experience. The rooms, restaurants and bars, the banqueting halls and the beautiful Garden Terrace captivate and seduce everyone into visiting the hotel.
The history of this luxury hotel is deeply entwined with the past of the city. After a careful renovation by French designer Sybille de Margerie, it is a place of hospitality, art and culture. Bold colours set off creamy marble; contemporary lights glimmer on graceful arches and stained glass; rosewood handrails sweep up to luxurious suites and rooms. Its magnificent banqueting facilities include the Council Chamber where the Netherlands’ former queen, Princess Beatrix, married in 1966.
Besides the historical background, The Grand offers exceptional gastronomic quality in the accessible atmosphere of restaurant Bridges or a Mediterranean experience at Oriole Garden Bistro. The Garden Terrace can be found in the beautiful inner garden of The Grand and it is one of Amsterdam’s best kept secrets; an oasis of peace and tranquillity. Library ‘Or’ is the ideal place to indulge in The Grand Afternoon Tea. The Grand boasts 19 meeting- and event facilities of which five are listed as historical monuments.
The Sofitel SPA offers a real escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Therapies and treatments from around the world meet the refinement and skills of the latest trends in French cosmetology to create an exhilarating, uplifting and rejuvenating spa experience.
