"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

With 93 rooms and suites to choose from, each comes with a view of either the canal or the beautiful courtyard garden.
Fodor's
"Spacious rooms are sophisticated if a tad bland, though the beam-ceilinged loft rooms offer a little more character; all rooms have either a canal or garden view." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler
"The Guerlain Spa at the Waldorf goes beyond relaxation—this is the kind of place where "revitalization" is offered, and achieved." Full review
Jetsetter
"Decadent Dutch Master set in 17th-century palaces on the Herengracht canal, with a two-Michelin-starred restaurant and a Guerlain spa." Full review
The Telegraph

"Spread out over six stunning buildings on the banks of one of Amsterdam’s most memorable canals, the Waldorf Astoria is just as much a historic landmark as it is a supremely plush place to stay." Full review
