Concierge "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."
Star Service "This was Starwood's leading lady in Amsterdam until just a few days before inspection." Full review

This is a gem, but be sure to check on the progress before booking a room.
Time Out "Sprawling, though ever so elegantly, across a staggering 25 canal houses, the Pulitzer is an ideal destination for indulgent getaways." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Scoring high on elegance but low on pomposity, the Pulitzer manages to combine big-hotel efficiency with boutique-hotel charm." Full review
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
Jetsetter "A charming hotel, imaginatively constructed within authentic canal houses." Full review

Michelin Guide "Formerly an orphanage (1890), now an ultra-trendy hotel."
Concierge "The St. Elizabeth building (circa 1890) was a Catholic orphanage turned youth hostel until 1999, when it was upgraded into this happy, still-youth-centric hotel."
i
Standard rooms look like the orphans never moved out and are to be avoided.
Lonely Planet "A modern, four-star, 116-room hotel with a trendy restaurant, cafe and nightclub." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Built as the St. Elisabeth Orphanage in 1890, the brick building now houses the Hotel Arena, with its trendy restaurant, café, and nightclub." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The restaurant, bar and nightclub are the stars of this former orphanage in a slightly out-of-the-way residential district, so the Arena is ideal for young trendies intent on socialising in situ."
Rough Guide "This place has been thoroughly revamped, transforming a popular hostel into a hip three-star hotel complete with split-level rooms and minimalist decor."

"The 116-room Hotel Arena is an historic landmark, built in 1889 as the Sint Elisabeth orphanage." Full review
Jetsetter "Holy trinity of hotel, restaurant and club in a former Catholic orphanage near Amsterdam's Oosterpark." Full review
Fodor's "It’s an open, accessible space, which seamlessly merges the building’s historic character with contemporary glass, greenery, and gentle earthy hues to suit its surroundings." Full review
Wallpaper "The property fully embraces its secluded location at the edge of the city’s Oosterpark with double-height glass walls that give the new rooms a calming outlook. " Full review
