With its launch just two months ago, the partially refurbished Hotel Pulitzer has become Amsterdam’s latest five-star offering.
Located between the Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht canals, this luxury property imbues an historic set of buildings with a modern, eclectic twist. A phased renovation in February saw the unveiling of 80 rooms out of a total of 225 and a revamped look across areas including Pulitzer’s Bar, a new restaurant called Jansz, as well as meeting and event spaces. The completed renovation, to be finished this autumn with remaining rooms on the Prinsengracht canal side, will also include a gym and a tranquil, private garden courtyard.
Composed of 25 medieval canal houses connected together by a web of narrow, higgledy-piggeldy corridors and mini-staircases, the hotel is a maze of almost childlike delight. Under the watchful eye of Jacu Strauss, creative director for the renovation, every house is differentiated by the color of its carpet and every room presents a different perspective to the eye, whether that be through their unique furnishings or window size and positioning.
