The original property opened in 1578. A member of Historic Hotels Worldwide since 2018.
Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam possesses a rich history that dates back to the 1500s. Over the centuries, the buildings that now constitute the hotel have been at different times convents, Royal Family residences, and military headquarters. The complex was even the Amsterdam City Hall for nearly two centuries. But in 1988, city officials decided to relocate City Hall back to Dam Square, leaving the buildings completely vacant. Sofitel acquired the abandoned site several years later, converting the location into The Grand Amsterdam. Since 1992, Sofitel has owned and operated the hotel, elevating it to its prestigious Legend brand in 2011. The Grand celebrated its 25th anniversary during 2017, in which the hotel had won a record number of awards for its extraordinary hospitality.
