We are more than happy to welcome you at Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam. Below we share several ways to arrive at our hotel.
Please be aware that on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays between 22h00 and 06h00 a road barrier with an automatic rising bollard, blocks the access to Rusland – the connecting street to Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam. This rising bollard can be remotely controlled by The Grand. Please inform us on the license plate number of the vehicle that needs to enter the area prior to your arrival and we will make sure it is registered and allowed to access the area.
From Schiphol Airport
The easiest way to come to our hotel from Schiphol Airport is by taking a taxi or a limo. The taxi drivers wait in front of the airport and will bring you straight to the hotel. The charge will be around €90. If you prefer travelling by limo, one of our limo drivers picks you up after customs at the airport with your name stated on a sign. Travel in style to the hotel in a Mercedes S-Class (maximum of 3 persons for €190) or a Mercedes V-Class (maximum of 6 persons for €205).
However, you can also decide on travelling by public transport and take the train to Amsterdam. Please be informed that the train leaves from Schiphol Airport and arrives at Amsterdam Central Station. From here it is only a 10 to 15-minute walk to the hotel, or you could take the tram or metro.

From Amsterdam Central Station you can easily take a tram to Dam Square or the metro to Rokin. From there it is only a 5-minute walk to the hotel.
Of course, you can also choose to take a taxi to the hotel. Taxis wait at the back of Amsterdam Central Station and can bring you to the hotel. The fare would be approximately €40 one way. However, please note that it is not possible to prearrange a taxi for your pick-up from the station. For your departure from the hotel we can of course arrange a taxi for you.
You can also choose for a limo transfer from Amsterdam Central Station. One of our limo drivers waits for you at the back of Amsterdam Central Station. This is at a charge of €125 per transfer.
