Hotel information The Grand Amsterdam building has a very rich history. It has been a convent in the 15th century, a Royal Inn during the 16th century and the headquarters for the Dutch Admiralty in the 17th century (the Golden Age of the Netherlands). In 1966 it was the setting for the wedding of Her Majesty the Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. The Grand has certainly left its mark on the history of Amsterdam.,

Room information Our 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 colours 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. Molton Brown 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 also features a personal in-room safe, a colour television with satellite channels including CNN World News and four in-house movie channels, computer and fax outlets (equipment available on request) and a hairdryer. Every morning the complimentary newspaper of your choice is delivered at your room. Three of the main presidential suites, which are named after three former Mayors of Amsterdam, the Van Thijn, Polak and the Samkalden suite, were inaugurated by their namesakes on 20th May 1992. There are also three two-bedroom Royal Suites featuring stunning curved windows overlooking the encircling canals. Named in honour of three famous former guests - William V, Maria de Medici and William of Orange - all offer a separate dressing area, marble bathrooms and a dining area seating from four to six people.,
