Ideally located in the heart of Amsterdam's historic center, set between two picturesque canals, just a stone's throw away from the key financial institutions, famous Dam Square and just twenty minutes from Schiphol International Airport, the Grand offers you the Comfort and Luxury of a world-class Hotel. The hotel’s guestrooms have their own unique style, dictated in part by the original layout of the building that has been respected wherever possible. High ceilings and huge windows are a feature of almost all the rooms giving an additional sense of light and space to what are already some of the largest hotel rooms in Amsterdam. Decorated by Monique Roux in a chic Anglo-French style in colors of salmon or blue with bold stripes or floral prints, each guestroom has beautiful heavy drapery with custom made light wood inlaid furniture. The fragrance of the hotel's own especially created potpourri pervades each room with a fresh and welcoming scent. Roger & Gallet products are gathered together on the black marble vanity in the hotel's chic, bold, black and white Art Deco bathrooms. Full-length bathrobes emblazoned by the crest of the hotel hang ready for use. An extensively stocked personal bar offers a wide selection of drinks. Each room is individually air-conditioned and features a personal in-room safe, a color television with satellite channels and four in-house movie channels, fax outlets and a hairdryer. Every morning the complimentary newspaper of your choice is delivered at your room. Fine cuisine is central to all Sofitel Demeure Hotels and The Grand Amsterdam is no exception. The 325 square metres of kitchen space at the hotel have been designed to fulfill the first principles of Britain's most famous chef Albert H. Roux, Consultant Chef at the hotel. A formidable brigade de cuisine has been recruited by staff from Roux's award-winning London restaurant, Le Gavroche - all of which promises to put the Cafe Roux at The Grand Amsterdam on the European culinary map. Located on the ground floor, the hotel's Á la carte restaurant has an informal 'brasserie' atmosphere with oak floors and art deco interior design. It overlooks one of Amsterdam's most picturesque canals and has a private street entrance. CafÊ Roux accommodates up to 75 people for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Buffet breakfast, all taxes and service charges are included in the quoted rate.
