The Grand Amsterdam
An exclusive cruise with a refreshing glass of AIX Rosé in hand. A private experience you won't forget.
Five-star dining meets Amsterdam's canals
Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam is one of only five Sofitel Legend hotels in the world. The building dates to 1411. It has served as a monastery, a royal residence, and Amsterdam's town hall. Inside, you'll find priceless murals by Karel Appel and a courtyard that feels like the South of France.
The Grand Amsterdam experience pairs dinner at the hotel with a canal cruise on one of our boats. You dine in the courtyard or restaurant, then step onto the water with a glass of AIX Rosé as the city lights up around you.
The cruise
The canal tour takes you past Amsterdam's most iconic landmarks. Your captain provides live commentary, sharing stories about the buildings, the bridges and the history of the waterways. The boat is fully electric, the atmosphere is intimate, and the AIX Rosé keeps flowing.
An experience for special occasions
This combination is designed for moments that matter. Anniversaries, milestone birthdays, proposals, or simply an evening you want to remember. The Grand provides the setting. The canals provide the backdrop. We provide the boat.
