As we made our way through Amsterdam, the land of canals, stroopwafels, and horseshoe shaped streets, bicycles road side-by-side with us, gliding effortlessly over the cobblestones roads. While the streets made traversing the city difficult and confusing, the welcoming Hotel Pulitzer flag and luxurious accommodations make the circuitous route well worth it.

Nestled between the numerous oversized skinny houses, the Pulitzer hotel is one of the oldest hotels in Amsterdam

The Hotel Pulitzer is a chic Dutch hideaway in the heart of Amsterdam. Fall into the lap of luxury as you’re surrounded by the hotels graceful décor and attentive service.

We stayed at the Hotel Pulitzer at the very end of our honeymoon and it provided the romance and luxury we desired. Nestled on a quaint canal, it was in the perfect location for us to sightsee, while still feeling like we were in an authentically Dutch atmosphere.

The rooms in the Hotel Pulitzer are classily decorated with warm accents and a plush bed. The cozy rooms are festooned with touches of 17th and 18th century charm. These rooms are in restored canal houses from the 17th and 18th centuries. TIP: Ask for a canal view room, they are well worth the extra money.
