"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."

"One of Amsterdam's finest hotels... Pure, unadulterated luxury."

"You will sacrifice a canal view, but the location of this bustling hotel, opened in February 2012 directly across from the Museumplein, more than compensates."

The cavernous center is divided into spaces aligned with the four elements, but if you have to choose, forget earth, fire, and air and head for the water spa, which features a watsu pool and hammam treatments.

Fodor's
"An impressive early 20th-century bank turned music school is a visual feast, with a glass-roofed, tree-filled courtyard lobby and dramatically modern guest rooms." Full review
