Pulitzer Amsterdam
Dutch Golden Age heritage meets eclectic, collected luxury. Think exposed wooden beams, marble bathrooms, vintage telephones, bespoke headboards, and original canal-house architecture — none of it stuffy. The Collector's Suites lean into a playful aristocratic-meets-curator vibe: books stacked floor to ceiling, antique Delftware, feature artworks. It's the kind of hotel that feels genuinely lived-in rather than decorated.

Why It Matters
The only hotel in Amsterdam to occupy a run of 25 connected 17th-century canal houses, each room genuinely different in layout and design. Pulitzer's Bar has built a serious reputation on the Amsterdam cocktail circuit well beyond the hotel-bar circuit. The Beauty House was the first salon in the Netherlands to introduce 111SKIN treatments. And the 1909 saloon boat 'The Tourist' is arguably the most stylish way to see the canals.
Twenty-five restored 17th and 18th century canal houses strung together along the Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht — that is the Pulitzer Amsterdam. The whole thing started with Peter Pulitzer, grandson of the journalism prize's founder, who bought up these Golden Age houses one by one rather than let them crumble. The result is a 5-star, 225-room hotel where no two rooms are the same, with an award-winning cocktail bar, a modern-Dutch restaurant, a beauty wellness house, and two vintage canal boats you can actually cruise the city on.
Where You'll Stay
18 room types available
Antique Collector's Suite
Furniture, art and objects each carrying a connection to the past — centuries of Dutch history channelled into one room. Canal views and private canal-side entrance alongside standard hotel access.
Art Collector's Suite
Decorated with modern and antique pieces from the Pulitzer's art collection and flooded with natural light. The 6x2 metre painting 'Hals Brunch' by Thierry de Cromieres — referencing Frans Hals' 'The Last Supper' — dominates the space. Canal views of the Keizersgracht.
Book Collector's Suite
For the type who leaves hotels with a longer reading list than when they arrived. Furnished around an eccentric book lover's library, with an eclectic collection of books to browse. Canal views and private canal-side entrance.
Canal Suite
One-bedroom suite with a separate sitting room and views over the Amsterdam canals. Elegant without being over-designed. Good for couples who want space and a proper living area.
Classic Canal View Room
Same quality as the Classic Room but with unbeatable views over Amsterdam's famous canals. Design items in each room reflect the specific house's history. Worth the upgrade if you're here for the first time.
Classic Room
The core Pulitzer room experience: bespoke furniture, marble bathrooms, Dutch charm. Each one is different thanks to the canal-house architecture — expect varying ceiling heights, window shapes and floor plans. Bed type varies by room.
Classic Suite
Unique in size and layout like every suite here. Soft king bed, marble bathroom, and the full Pulitzer charm. A step up from the rooms without crossing into the more theatrical Collector's territory.
Soft KingCosy Room
The smallest rooms in the hotel — and the hotel is honest about that. Good for solo travellers or couples who plan to spend most of their time out in the city. Queen bed, marble bathroom, all the standard Pulitzer touches including D.S. & Durga amenities, vintage telephone and custom minibar.
QueenDuplex Family Room
Split-level layout sleeping up to four. Queen bed on the main level; cosy twin sleeping nook above with exposed wooden beams. Original canal-house architecture does most of the heavy lifting here — marble bathroom and traditional charm included.
Family Suite
65m2 with two bedrooms and two marble bathrooms. Designed for travelling families who need privacy across the group. Both bedrooms are elegantly furnished — nobody is sleeping in a bunk afterthought here.
65 sqmFamily Suite Canal View
Split-level layout with canal views, a spacious sitting room and two comfortable bedrooms. Feels like a private Dutch apartment rather than a hotel room. Among the most admired rooms in the building.
Flower Collector's Suite
A love letter to Amsterdam's floral tradition. Feature artwork, canal views, and every detail chosen to lean into the romantic end of Dutch heritage. Very pink. Very intentional.
Generous Canal View Room
The Generous Room with canal views on top. More space than the Classic Canal View, with the same elevated perspective on the Prinsengracht or Keizersgracht. Good for a longer stay where the extra square footage matters.
Generous Room
More space than the Classic, aimed at guests who want room to breathe. Contemporary comfort paired with historic detailing — custom headboards, a drink trolley rather than a minibar, and a proper marble bathroom.
Interconnecting Family Room
Two separate rooms connected through a private shared entrance. Better for families who want distinct spaces — kids in one room, adults in the other — rather than a duplex layout. Sleeps up to four.
Merchant Suite
The grandest suite in the hotel. Sits within one of the finest examples of Dutch Golden Age architecture in the building. Hand-selected treasures, curated vintage artworks, and modern design classics throughout. If you want to feel like an Amsterdam merchant from the 1600s but with decent plumbing, this is it.
Porcelain Collector's Suite
Inspired by the Netherlands' ceramic heritage — specifically Delftware. Curves of antique porcelain meet modern interpretations of traditional Dutch pottery. Private canal-side entrance alongside hotel access.
Pulitzer Suite
Open-plan and filled with natural light. Eclectic mix of curated furniture, grand architectural details, and thoughtful modern comforts. Named after the hotel's founder — the suite that embodies Mr. Pulitzer's vision of old and new in harmony.
