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 "The Estherea is a beautiful, elegant hotel full of charm."
Frommer's "If you like to stay at elegant, not-too-big hotels, you're sure to be pleased by the Estheréa." Full review
DK Eyewitness "An elegant, family-run hotel that has been in the same careful hands for more than 60 years."
Rough Guide "Comfortable four-star converted from a couple of sympathetically modernized canal houses."
Star Service "Born as a small post-war inn, the original owner's three grandchildren continue to operate this refined yet friendly hotel that bears a sensational traditional style and generally very high standards." Full review

Note: Be sure to request one of the hotel's iPads at check-in, as these are a wellspring of information, and not just about the hotel's facilities, but also about the city and some fun off-the-beaten-path sights.
Time Out "Spread over several charming canal houses at the epicentre of the elegant canal district, this private hotel has been run by the same family for decades." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Hotel Estheréa takes its beauty seriously – its prettiness gets plenty of attention from guests, with florals – live and textile – dominating, but not overwhelming, the decor." Full review
OysterLuxury
"Hotel Estherea takes a maximalist approach to its interior design, and treads the fine line between plush extravagance and gaudiness with aplomb." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"Hotel Estheréa has an eccentric charm, created by décor that manages to be at once zany, plush, and warmly welcoming." Full review
Fodor's "Flowery wallpaper, boldly upholstered furniture, antiques, and screaming crystal chandeliers are all put together harmoniously at this gorgeously designed and cozy, family-owned hotel." Full review
