"The Pulitzer's scale makes it the closest thing this city has to a resort—there's an art gallery, a gym, and a private boat for canal cruises."
Insight Guides
"The result is a place that oozes charm and character, and despite having 230 rooms it still seems very personal, a place where you feel that every guest genuinely matters."
DK Eyewitness
"Spread over 25 adjoining canal houses, this hotel is perfect for a luxurious splurge."
Michelin Guide
"A group of 25 admirably-restored houses, dating from the 17 and 18C, set around a well-tended garden. Public areas filled with works of art; refined, individualized bedrooms."

Afar Magazine
"Before 1960, each of its 25 buildings was an individual, 17th- or 18th-century merchant canal house. Painstaking renovations over the years have guaranteed that each room feels distinct." Full review
Wallpaper
"Soon, the dust covers will come off the Pulitzer Amsterdam’s first stage of restoration and renovation. The project to repackage the former 45 year-old Hotel Pulitzer is an immense one..." Full review

"The Ambassade isn't the most stylishly renovated of Amsterdam's Golden Age hotels, but the privately-owned landmark beats out the competition."

"Ambassade Hotel's lovely brick front is as inviting as its location in the picturesque (and convenient) Canal Ring neighorhood, across from a boat-lined canal." Full review

"With its long literary associations, this is the bookworm’s choice of lodgings: the library is lined with signed copies from the numerous authors who have stayed here."
Rough Guide
"Elegant canalside hotel made up of ten seventeenth-century houses with smartly furnished lounges, a well-stocked library and comfortable en-suite rooms."
Star Service
"On a beautiful canal in a residential neighborhood in the heart of Amsterdam, this exceedingly popular traditional hotel blends old school B&B style with a cozy residential feel." Full review

If possible, avoid the smaller Classic rooms and book a Deluxe room with a roomier sitting area and more enviable canalside location.
Time Out
"This literary hotel arranged across ten canal houses is the place to bump in to your favourite author." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler
"If more proof were needed of the Ambassade's – comprised of 10 18th century buildings -- significance, its central location on the Herengracht is a UNESCO World Heritage site." Full review

Choose canal-side rooms in this quiet part of town.
Gayot
"Charming accommodations (with a notable library) in a classic canal setting."
