Dutch five-star hotel wins coveted international award
Sofitel Amsterdam The Grand has won the coveted Villegiature Award for Best Hotel Interior Design in Europe 2010.
The Grand saw off challenges from Le Meurice in Paris and Grand Hotel du Lac in Switzerland. The five-star deluxe Sofitel Amsterdam The Grand was the only Dutch hotel to be nominated in this category, as well as the only Dutch contender in the entire competition.
The interior of Sofitel Amsterdam The Grand was designed under the supervision of the French architect Sybille De Margerie. De Margerie infused the hotel with French elegance and grandeur, transforming it into a veritable city palace. For the interior of restaurant Bridges, she drew much of her stylish design inspiration from the lively colours of the famous mural by COBRA artist Karel Appel, which is displayed in the entrance to the restaurant. The building’s rich history is also incorporated in architectural details. Students from the renowned Design Academy Eindhoven used famous persons from the history of the building as a source of inspiration for their creative contributions to the rooms, all elegantly furnished and decorated.
