A distinctive luxury hotel spread across 25 interconnected canal houses between Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht, with individual room layouts, inner gardens, a classic bar, and private canal-boat outings.
Why We Chose It
Pulitzer Amsterdam occupies 25 restored seventeenth- and eighteenth-century canal houses, so rooms differ in plan, stairs, view, and proximity to public spaces. Its location near the Nine Streets and Anne Frank House is excellent for walking, while the inner gardens and canal boat provide a sense of retreat. The former guide incorrectly linked to Marriott; Pulitzer is currently part of Lore Group. Confirm lift access, room configuration, family occupancy, breakfast, and boat schedules directly.
What Stands Out
- 25 interconnected 17th- and 18th-century canal houses: the labyrinthine corridors, multiple courtyards, and 225 rooms each with different character
- Description: 'Like Hogwarts, but with more Dutch gables' (Time Out): the most accurate single summary of the Pulitzer experience
- Hidden courtyards and gardens between the houses: the unexpected space that makes the Pulitzer distinctly different from every other Amsterdam hotel
- Pulitzer Bar: a city institution, one of the finest hotel bars in Amsterdam — dark paneling, serious cocktails
- Jansz restaurant: modern Dutch cuisine, the finest hotel restaurant in Amsterdam outside the Michelin-starred properties
- Oldest 5-star hotel in Amsterdam: the 1970 original and multiple renovations that have maintained the property's position
