Art-galore, chic clientele and a killer location on one of the main canals - staying at Hotel Pulitzer is like having the key to Amsterdam’s chicest address … this is the place to be!

Wrapped around three sides of one of the prettiest blocks in Amsterdam’s Canal District, Pulitzer Hotel Amsterdam is spread across 25 restored 17th and 18th century merchant houses. Between houses, the colour of the walls change! Originally founded in the 1970s by Peter Pulitzer (grandson of the founder of the Pulitzer Prize ) with the purpose of providing a base for KLM fliers, the hotel underwent a massive overhaul and re-opened in August 2016, revealing the wonderful work of interior designer, Jacu Strauss. Each of the 225 bedrooms (Strauss stayed a night in each one to ensure every detail was in place) is different, but with a common strain of bright upholstery offset against charcoal feature walls, clean lines and marble bathrooms. Food-wise there are three options: signature restaurant, Jansz, with perfect people-watching tables; Pause where you can grab a bite at any time (great if you miss breakfast); and the chic, low-lit Pulitzer’s Bar.
