Although the pretentiously named Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam is located on the edge of the famous Red Light District, it has an impressive list of advantages. Guests can spend hours just roaming the interior of this historic, elegant complex. Its rich history dates back to the 1400s when it served as Amsterdam's city hall and a convent. Ex-Queen Beatrix even got married here. To avoid getting lost in its labyrinth of corridors, we recommend you join the in-house tour that starts at 11:00 each day. It will take you through this absolutely stunning building and along the way you learn about all the wonders that The Legend holds. If the abundance of marble, stained glass windows, muralled walls and ceilings and wood carvings aren't your cup of tea, just relax in the spa or expend some calories at the gym. Naturally, the rooms are state-of-the-art with endless amenities, comfortable beds and spacious, modern bathrooms. In short, The Grand's only flaw seems to be that you'll never want to leave.
