Sofitel Amsterdam The Grand

In a fully modernized (most recently in 2009) courtly building that was a 15th-century convent, a 16th-century royal guesthouse, the 17th-century Amsterdam Admiralty headquarters, and the city's 19th-century Town Hall, the Grand is grand indeed, with its courtyard fountain and brass-and-wood revolving door. Enjoy afternoon tea in the lounge amid Art Deco and stained-glass windows; Oriental rugs grace black-and-white marble floors. Such elegance, and only a few blocks south of the Red Light District. Individually styled and furnished rooms reflect the different phases of the building's past and are the last word in plush. Most have couches and armchairs. Views are of 17th-century canals, the garden, or the courtyard. The contemporary French restaurant Bridges sports an abstract expressionist mural, Inquisitive Children (1949), by Cobra artist Karel Appel. Note: This hotel is nonsmoking, and has been awarded a Green Key certificate for its environmental awareness and sustainable practices.
