Advantages: Modern comfort combined with real old Dutch charm

Disadvantages: dreadful service, hotel is absolute maze

The Pulitzer Hotel is an amazingly complex block of traditional canal houses linked in ingenious ways. Finding your room (or the way out) can be an absolute nightmare. Much of the historic charm of the original houses has been maintained although the hotel simultaneously boast modern top facilities.

Once a year the hotel hosts the so-called Prinsengracht Concert, which has to be seen to be believed. Major opera stars perform at night on a makeshift stage in the middle of the canal in front of the hotel, surrounded by thousands of spectators on boats, along the canal and hanging from the windows of nearby houses.
