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
