A charming hotel, imaginatively constructed within authentic canal houses When it comes to places to stay in Amsterdam, the five-star Pulitzer takes the 'speculoos'. This 225-room city pad is set within 25 restored 17th- and 18th-century canal houses in one of Amsterdam's hippest neighborhoods, right in the middle of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Inside, the hotel oozes an air of effortless elegance. Designed by Jacu Strauss (who had a hand in designed the Mondrian London under Tom Dixon), rooms are sophisticated yet cozy, drawing inspiration from the moody work of Old Master oil paintings and traditional Dutch design details like Delft tiles and stucco ceilings while also incorporating more modern pieces like Maarten Baas furniture and Persian rugs by Piet Hein Eek. Pulitzer Amsterdam's dining and drinking services can be enjoyed either at the lobby café, Pause, the signature restaurant Jansz, Pulitzer's Bar, or in the intimacy of your own room. The chefs here are encouraged to create dishes as elegant and sumptuous as their surroundings, whether in the day's buffet breakfast or a sophisticated evening dinner. When the sun is shining, head to the hotel's garden and lobby café, Pause, for al-fresco drinks and nibbles.
