Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam will undergo a major renovation led by French designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. The redesign aims to balance historical preservation with modern luxury, aligning with the Sofitel Legend brand’s vision for timeless elegance.

“Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam perfectly embodies the DNA of Sofitel Legend,” said Maud Bailly, CEO of Sofitel Legend, Sofitel, MGallery & Emblems. “From its legendary Wedding Chamber to its stained-glass windows, this landmark takes guests on a journey through history. This transformation marks a new chapter, made possible by the trust and vision of our esteemed owners.”

The hotel sits between two canals in Amsterdam’s center. Its history dates back to the 15th century when it was a convent. It later served as a royal guesthouse and Amsterdam’s City Hall. Notable guests have included William of Orange and Maria de Medici. Today, several suites are named in their honor.

The Wedding Chamber, created by artist Chris Lebeau in 1925, remains a focal point. With stained-glass windows and furnishings from the Amsterdam School movement, it continues to host ceremonies and events.

The renovation will maintain these historic elements while introducing modern touches. Rochon’s design will reflect French style with Dutch heritage. “Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam is a place where every stone carries memory,” said Rochon. “Our approach preserves the past with care while introducing a new way to experience history—intimate and contemporary.”

Plans include a redesigned courtyard garden filled with tulips, peonies, and hydrangeas. A new reception area will create a more personalized arrival. Restored marble floors, oak parquet, and warm lighting will add intimacy to the lobby and atrium.

The hotel’s 175 rooms and suites, including the Legendary Suites and a new Bridal Suite, will combine heritage with contemporary design. Interiors will feature aged leather, fine wood, and French moldings. Custom furnishings include the Temple Bed, a canal-view daybed, and a built-in drink cabinet. Design elements draw inspiration from Vermeer’s color palette.

Corridors will include Delft Blue vases, antique art, and carpets inspired by Amsterdam’s cobblestones. The Florista Tea & Cocktail Lounge will serve seasonal teas, floral-themed drinks, and afternoon tea.

“The Grand continues to evolve while honoring its past,” said Stefan Melcherts, general manager. “The Imperial Suites, in particular, blend history and luxury, offering a unique experience for our most discerning guests.”

Sustainability is a key focus. The hotel is improving insulation and installing geothermal energy systems. Renovated rooms will use certified woods, natural textiles, and energy-efficient technologies. Public areas will feature indoor greenery.

The Grand holds Green Key Gold, EarthCheck Silver, and other sustainability certifications, including a platinum rating from Accor.

“We are proud to embark on this journey,” said Melcherts. “This renovation will preserve the soul of The Grand while enhancing the guest experience for years to come.”
