The Hotel Pulitzer is a unique hotel, comprised of twenty-five authentic 17th and 18th century Amsterdam canal houses. Almost a whole block of these historical buildings have been rebuilt and restored to create the hotel, which overlooks two of the city’s most picturesque canals, Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht. If you like hotels with a historical atmosphere, you will find that the timber flooring, exposed ceiling beams, Dutch tiled bathrooms and unusual room shapes will be very much to your liking. Though rich in historical splendor, the hotel also offers today’s modern amenities, including wired and wireless (Wi-Fi) Internet access in all public areas, meeting facilities and certain guest rooms.

The rooms were beautifully renovated in 2000 and most have wooden floors or beamed ceilings, heavy wood furniture and are in exceptional condition. The bathrooms are also in exceptional condition and are quite stunning, with beige, chequered marble floors. Like almost all Old Dutch houses in the city centre, the Pulitzer hotel has several courtyards and a well maintained interior garden, which also houses an Art Gallery with an interesting collection from local artists. Its restaurant, as well as cafe and a bar, complete the Old Dutch interior atmosphere. Its private dining room, De Apotheek, used to be an old pharmacy and still has the same authentic characteristics. The Pulitzer also has a spacious on-site gym, very high-tech, which is complimentary for all guests, and a wide range of meeting and banquet facilities, ideal for weddings, private parties and business events.

The hotel’s location is ideal for enjoying the city’s recreational pursuits, and for experiencing the Dutch way of life. Rent a bicycle to explore the quaint little shops in the Jordaan district. Anne Frank House, the Van Gogh Museum, the Historical Museum and the Royal Palace are all within reach. The hotel also has its own canal boat, The Tourist, which provides picturesque canal trips.
