Amsterdam's Hotel Pulitzer is composed of 25 canal houses
Hotel Pulitzer Combines Old World Charm with Modern Amenities
While Stroopwafels are left for guests in the hotel rooms, don’t expect cookie cutter, look-alike rooms at Amsterdam’s Hotel Pulitzer. Instead, Dutch history and culture play out in each of the 230 guest rooms at this centrally located property. All rooms have recently been remodeled, many with hardwood floors and heated marble bathroom floors. I particularly enjoyed the tiled artwork in the bathroom.

Hotel Pulitzer History of Canal Houses
The Pulitzer Hotel Amsterdam consists of twenty-five historical canal side houses dating back to the 17th and 18th century. Consolidated into a five-star hotel situated alongside the Amsterdam canals, the hotel is minutes away from the Anne Frank Museum and the Western Church where Frank was said to listen to the chimes of the church bells. In addition to excellent walking paths, Amsterdam is home to many museums including the Jewish Historical Museum, the Hermitage Amsterdam and outside Amsterdam in the Hague is the Mauritshuis.
At the beginning of the seventeenth century, the area where The Pulitzer Hotel Amsterdam is located was not yet built. In 1614 commissioners of the new fortification started allocating the plots of land in this block. Situated between the Keizersgracht, the Prinsengracht and the Reestraat, the façades of all the houses and most ground floor entrance corridors along the Keizersgracht, as well as the Saxenburgzaal (now one of the hotel meeting rooms ) and staircase of the Saxenburghuis are listed monuments, registered with the society for the preservation of monuments. The apothecary room of the restaurant is one of only two original 17th century shop interiors remaining in the city.

Pet-Friendly Hotel Pulitzer Amsterdam
Guests may bring a small pet in their room. Pets are not allowed in the restaurant and other public areas. Costs: € 15 per pet per day. Note: Maximum height of a pet is measured by the following: If the dog can fit under a chair in standing position and/or if his height does not surpass the knee level of an average gentleman. (Retrievers, hound and sporting dogs are out of luck at Hotel Pulitzer.)
Hotel Pulitzer – Old meets new with WiFi and Social Media
While the Hotel Pulitzer may be historic, the property offers high speed internet access in all public areas and guest rooms. There is a fee of 19 euro per day for high speed internet access, thus my review of this property is not appearing until I’m back in the States. The hotel also features a Grill Restaurant and large courtyard garden on site. A member of Starwood Hotels and Resorts since 1995, Hotel Pulitzer joined the Luxury Collection brand of Starwood Hotels & Resorts in 2000 after a complete renovation.
