A stay at the Pulitzer is a historical discovery with a long and illustrious heritage dating back to the Golden Age. The hotel is set within twenty-five restored 17th and 18th century houses that once set the scene for prosperous business deals between trade merchants and played home to the decadent and flamboyant lives of Dutch aristocrats.

In 1960 Peter Pulitzer (grandson of Pulitzer Prize founder Joseph Pulitzer) saw great potential in the beautiful but dilapidated canal houses of Amsterdam. He purchased twelve houses along the Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht canals and created Amsterdam’s first five star hotel, the rest –as they say- is history. Over the course of thirty years the hotel grew from twelve restored canal houses to twenty-five. The Pulitzer continues to collect elements that add to its unique and vibrant character: the intricate maze of historic houses, the exclusive restaurant, the gardens and the annual floating concerts on the Prinsengracht.

The Pulitzer overlooks the picturesque waters of Amsterdam’s historic central canal belt that has been the center of social life in Amsterdam for centuries. The UNESCO World Heritage site is located in the heart of the effervescent Nine Streets neighborhood; the ideal place to go Dutch.

In 2015 and 2016 the hotel is undergoing the largest renovation in its history. The latest reinvention of the Pulitzer combines historical elements and classic beauty with contemporary style, resulting in a unique blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern comfort.

Hotel features 225 Guest Rooms & Suites. All of the rooms are unique, with their own character and rich history. Each room seamlessly blend traditional and modern elements. All of the suites boast unique design elements from renowned Dutch designers interwoven with rich stories of the canals.
