Pulitzer Amsterdam is located in the Nine Streets neighborhood; the ideal place to experience the best of Amsterdam. Overlooking the picturesque waters of Amsterdam’s historic central canal belt, the hotel is set within twenty-five restored 17th and 18th century canal houses that once set the scene for prosperous trade deals between merchants, and played home to the decadent and flamboyant lives of many notable Dutch aristocrats. Inspired by the rich history of the Golden Age, the décor is modern and comfortable but unmistakably Dutch, making you feel at the same time at home and immersed in the city's culture. In 2015 and 2016 the hotel went through the largest renovation in its history, making it the gem it is today.

All 225 rooms are unique, many have tall windows that overlook the canal. The rooms combine the understated elegance of a historic canal house with modern design. The beds are also extraordinarily comfortable. Every room and suite at Pulitzer Amsterdam is an individual celebration of Dutch history and craftsmanship, each differing in size, layout and view.

Pulitzer Amsterdam has a long rooted passion in elegant culinary craftsmanship. Recharge throughout the entire day in Pulitzer Garden's bright surroundings while enjoying an al-fresco dining experience. Restaurant Jansz. serves simple yet beautifully crafted dishes inspired by modern-Dutch cuisine and Pulitzer’s Bar is the perfect place to enjoy an expertly mixed cocktail in style.

In 1970 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 oldest five star hotel, the rest –as they say- is history.

Peter Pulitzer adhered to a simple motto: “The house of your neighbor is for sale only once”. He took every chance he could to expand his Amsterdam empire. Over the course of thirty years the hotel grew from twelve restored canal houses to twenty-five. Pulitzer Amsterdam 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.
