Pulitzer Amsterdam

In a nutshell: Unique and neat; 25 interlinked canal houses

The Pulitzer Amsterdam is not your typical hotel – set in 25 interlinked canal houses. For many it is the best hotel in Amsterdam.

This one-of-a-kind property gives you a good mix of traditional and modern Dutch design with touches of glam and luxury.

The houses are originally from the 17th and 18th century. While they have a modern touch, there are still many original features that are intact and integrated into the new design of the houses.

All the rooms offer comfortable beds, adequately sized bathrooms with Le Labo toiletries, minibars, coffee and tea amenities. Interestingly, they also have quirky bicycle puncture repair kits.

Moreover, the hotel has a gym, a spacious garden courtyard, as well as meeting and event rooms.

As for the food choices, Pulitzer is home to Jansz, an upscale all-day dining restaurant. There is also ‘Pause’, the hotel’s lobby and garden cafe. They also have a bar where guests can enjoy delicious cocktails and drinks in a stylish and chic atmosphere.

We enjoyed the hotel’s breakfast as well as their friendly and helpful staff.

However, make sure to check out Pulitzer’s 1909 salon boat which you can take for a tour of the canals. Your private captain will be also your tour guide, sharing interesting facts of Amsterdam.

Good to know: The Canal View Rooms are a unique experience. Same goes for the luxurious Salon Boat of Pulitzer. Cruise along the canals on a classic salon boat with your private captain and tour guide.

What about the Location?

Pulitzer is located along the famous Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht canals and is a few minutes away from the Anne Frank House, Dam Square, and Jordaan Neighborhood. It's also accessible to other attractions like Museumplein, which is just 10 minutes away via tram.

Art’otel Amsterdam

In a nutshell: The seamless fusion of art and life in an art and luxury hotel in the very city center of Amsterdam

Art’otel, as its name suggests, is flowing with art and creativity in all its glorious form.

The hotel is designed with installations, artworks, and individual pieces integrated throughout the space.

Art’otel offers sleek and spacious rooms that include free and fast WiFi, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and espresso machines. Moreover, the bathroom has a rain shower, complete luxurious toiletries, and Elemis guest amenities.

Aside from this, the rooms in front of the hotel offer a magnificent view of Central Station as well as the canal boat docks and Stationsplein.

There is also available 24-hour room service for guests.

Furthermore, Art’otel is home to 5&33, an innovative concept restaurant that serves a Mediterranean-inspired all-day and late-night menu.

On the other hand, 5&33 bar offers a variety of drinks and is also a hit with the locals.

However, if you prefer a much quieter space, the hotel also offers a lounge and library area as well as an art gallery. They also have a fitness center with a pool big enough for shorts laps, as well as a sauna.

Personally, I recommend joining a bike tour to get to understand the history behind the country, city, and people.

Just opposite the Central Station and within walking distance from Amsterdam’s main attractions and destinations.

Among these tourist attractions, you have the Anne Frank House, Jordaan, Negen Straatjes and Dam Square with its Royal Palace are all within walking distance from the hotel.

In general, Art’otel is a hotel, an art gallery, an experience located right in the heart of Amsterdam.

Good to know: Art'otel offers an art gallery, library area, and a restaurant called 5&33. A signature 12m-tall video curtain connecting it to the upper floor that screens video art throughout the day.

What about the Location?

Super Central! The hotel is located opposite Centraal Station and is just an 8-minute walk from Dam Square. Its convenient location makes it a great jump-off point on exploring Amsterdam. With most attractions, cafes, bars, and restaurants just a couple of minutes away.

FAQ

We understand there is many questions. This is handwritten guide and we want to make it as useful as possible for you.

We included the most common questions on where to stay in Amsterdam.

What is the best area to stay in Amsterdam?

The best area to stay in Amsterdam is the city center. It is the area within The Ring.

Amsterdam is divided into 8 districts, called stadsdelen (“city parts”). Personally, we also absolutely love Jordaan Area and Amsterdam Noord.

Truth be told, all areas in Amsterdam are unique. It does not matter as much in our opinion. If you are in town only for 1-2 days, then stay in the city center around Dam Square.

How many days do you need in Amsterdam?

3 days in Amsterdam would be solid to see the main sights and get a feeling for the city. The best would be 3-5 days. This gives you time to even explore the parks and surroundings.

Amsterdam has many beautiful towns nearby that are worth a visit. Personally, we enjoy Haarlem and its beach, and the neat city of Utrecht. Both cities are easy to reach by train in less than 30 minutes.

Visiting only for 1 or 2 days? Then we recommend to do your homework, meaning to prepare your sightseeing. In 2 days in Amsterdam we suggest:

  • Anne Frank House
  • Hop on a Canal Cruise
  • Take an easy Bike Tour

With these 3 things to do, you will have an amazing time, covering the main experience we feel it takes to understand Amsterdam a bit better.

When should you book your hotel?

We suggest that you book 3 months in advance for the following seasons:

  • Mid-March to Mid-May tulip season
  • July and August high season
  • Christmas-New Year period

Keep in mind, many cute and neat hotels in Amsterdam are actually small – we mean, really small. They only have a few rooms to book. The earlier you check, the more likely you can book the hotel you would enjoy most.
