Pulitzer Amsterdam | The Nine Streets, Amsterdam
This is where you stay when you want to feel like a local, but a very well-dressed one with excellent taste in hotels. Pulitzer is spread across 25 connected canal houses in the heart of the Nine Streets, which means you’re technically in a maze, but a very beautiful one filled with art, velvet, and the occasional hidden garden.
It’s not trying to be cool. It just is. The design is classic Dutch with a twist. Think wood beams, jewel tones, books you actually want to read, and a deep soaking tub in case the weather insists on being Dutch.
The rooms? Every single one is different. Some overlook the canal. Some overlook the gardens. All of them feel like the kind of place where something vaguely poetic might happen.
Come for the canal house fantasy, stay because you found a corner of Amsterdam that feels like your own.
The Pulitzer Bar is where you go when you want a cocktail that comes with a backstory.
The breakfast is worth waking up for, which is saying something in this city.
And if you bring kids, the staff will treat them like tiny VIPs. Which, frankly, they are.
