Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam

I rarely am impressed enough to write reviews, but this hotel has been the most amazing stay of my life. I happened to be alone this winter for my birthday and Christmas, and this was my first visit to Amsterdam. As an Accor Platinum, I got upgraded to a Junior Suite and tears literally filled my eyes when I saw the room and felt the most comfortable bed in existence!! Two windows show gorgeous views on the city and canal side. The staff made me feel at home from the first "Bonjour", and any requests were fulfilled quickly and with care. Location is great, I never needed a taxi or public transportation, very walkable! Also the hotel is incredibly safe with a solid gated entrance and round the clock security (and everyone knows your name by the second day :) I know how lucky I am to have had my first experience in this city in such a magnificent hotel, it will always hold a place in my heart and I wish so much to come back again one day soon.

Our stay at this hotel was amazing from start to finish! The staff were so helpful and the food and ambience was great. We will definitely return.

We loved the location of this hotel! The service was excellent and the staff were nice and helpful. Our rooms were spotless and the turn-down service was a plus. We spoke no dutch and everyone was polite and courteous.

My wife and I had a fantastic stay at the Sofitel Legend The Grand. The location is absolutely perfect—central to everything we wanted to see—but it was the service that truly stood out. The team was attentive, helpful, and offered incredibly warm hospitality throughout our visit. ​I’d like to give special commendations to several team members who made our stay memorable: ​- Mar at reception was excellent. ​- Kai and David at the concierge provided star-quality service. ​- Cecilia made our Afternoon Tea brilliant. ​ Finally, a huge thank you to the massage therapists who treated us on Sunday, November 7th at 1 pm (apologies, we didn't catch their names, but they were excellent).

The hotel is in a fine historic building which would be well worth visiting even if it were not a hotel. The central location, between two historic canals, is excellent. The best thing about it, however, is the staff, who combine efficiency with thoughtfulness and kindness. We will keep coming back for as long as we are able to!
