The Garden Terrace
The Garden Terrace can be found in the beautiful courtyard garden of The Grand. It is one of Amsterdam’s best kept secrets: an oasis of peace and tranquility situated in the heart of the city. The location lends itself perfectly for a relaxing drink, a good cup of coffee, or an intimate dinner. Sofitel has retained much of the garden’s historical charm. Guests, for instance, can appreciate the sculptures of Dutch artist Jacob Kaas, who placed his artwork throughout the garden during the 1930s.
