Third Night Free, Breakfast, and Chocolate Treats at the Sofitel Amsterdam The Grand

Smack dab in the heart of the historic city center, Sofitel Amsterdam The Grand is straight out of the Old World; the historic building began its life as a 15th century convent, transformed into the headquarters of the Amsterdam Admiralty in the 17th century, then the Town Hall in the 19th century. Today the stately building is a lavish hotel outfitted with all the latest technology behind its landmark facade. Within walking distance to most major sites, including the Van Gogh Museum, Royal Palace, Anne Franks House, and the new Hermitage Amsterdam, the hotel has 178 guest rooms, a fine dining restaurant, and a spa. Book the "I Love Chocolate" offer, available from November 1, 2009- January 31, 2010, and you'll get a free third night when you stay for two. Plus, you'll savor breakfast everyday at the restaurant and a festive chocolate feast of pastries and hot chocolate for the whole family on an afternoon of your choice. Late check-out at 2 pm is also included in the package.
