Le facciate del Pulitzer lungo il canale

Pulitzer Amsterdam

Name: Pulitzer Amsterdam
Address: Prinsengracht 323, Amsterdam, 1016 GZ, NL
Telephone: +31 20 523 5235

Pulitzer Amsterdam spans 25 canal houses, with historic façades by the water and gardens hidden inside the block.

I’d book a canal-facing room at the Pulitzer and leave the afternoon open: take the hotel’s boat out or settle at the bar. If a daily swim matters, The Grand has an indoor pool.

Is it for you?

For a weekend together, I’d take the Pulitzer Suite: the bath stands in the middle of the room and the windows face the gardens. It gives you a reason to stay in even after the rain stops.

I’d ask for: The Pulitzer Suite with its freestanding bath in the room.
Worth knowing: The layout is open, with the bed and sitting area in the same space.

Pick the outlook
Classic and Classic Canal View rooms have the same average floor area: choose the latter to wake up by the water. Generous Canal View rooms are smaller on average than Generous rooms without that outlook.
If you bring a car
Valet parking costs €90 a day and the garage takes cars up to 1.90 metres high. With the car already packed for the trip, check its height before you arrive.
The boat in winter
The Tourist, the hotel’s 1909 boat, is out for maintenance from 11 January to 10 March. I wouldn’t build a trip around that cruise during those dates.

What the Pulitzer is

The houses date from the 17th and 18th centuries; the hotel’s first incarnation opened in 1970. You move through a piece of the city, with passages between buildings and different layouts even within the same room category.¹

The Collector’s Suites give you a more unusual choice: porcelain, books, flowers, antiques and art each shape a different room. The Art Collector’s Suite has a painting 6 metres long. That is quite a starting point for furnishing a room.²

For dinner, Jansz. draws on Dutch cooking, while Pulitzer Garden serves meals in the courtyard. The Beauty House offers massages and facials; the gym occupies 2 floors and stays open 24 hours for hotel guests aged 18 and over.³

How we choose the hotels

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them

What do Pulitzer Amsterdam’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.

Location
Nearly every guest who mentions it is happy with it. Guests like exploring Amsterdam on foot from the canals.
Room
6 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests like rooms with character; some describe cramped spaces and dim rooms.
Staff and service
8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests remember the staff’s warmth and help with planning their visit.
Breakfast
Breakfast variety and canal-side tables stay with guests.
Price
Among guests commenting on the bill, the price rarely feels justified.

297 guests said so on Google, from 4 November 2024 to 3 November 2026. Google reviews of the hotel, including visits to its bars and restaurants. Peer hotels may cover different periods. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Amsterdam: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 3 November 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

The hotels we weigh it against in Amsterdam:

Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam
Hotel NH Collection Amsterdam Barbizon Palace
Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam
Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam Hotel

Price: for 2, the night of 3 January 2027, from €284 on Google Hotels on 3 November 2026.

When a night costs less

A comfortable bed is not everything

A guest likes the bed, staff and breakfast, but finds the room dark, without comfortable seating, and the bathroom floor dirty. At that price they expected more.
