3 good reasons to pack your bags for Hotel Pulitzer:
The location
Located at the gates of the plush and trendy Joordan district, on the edge of the Prinsengracht canal, the hotel offers the best of opportunities to soak up the history and charm of the city. The gabled facades of the 17th century houses, the cobblestone streets and the refined interior design seen along the canal form the backdrop for an elegant stay in the dutch lifestyle. It’s in the heart of the famous Nine Streets, a grid of nine narrow and typical streets, where fashionable boutiques and cozy cafes are open all weekend.
The atmosphere
The Pulitzer alone occupies an entire block of houses, with 25 typical houses connected by a labyrinth of stairs and corridors. In the center, the inner courtyard has been converted into a garden and several terraces that guests can enjoy all year round. The ground floor of the hotel is bathed in light, and you can fully enjoy the tranquility of this oasis nestled in the heart of the city. Go there for coffee, lunch or a drink, letting children play freely and safely.

For the kids
In the rooms as in the restaurant, children are warmly welcomed with small gifts, an activity book or coloring book. For babies, a crib and an assortment of organic bath products are set up in the room. For the allow older ones to discover the city, embark for a walk on the canals aboard the Tourist, the hotel’s superb lounge boat, waiting for its passengers on the platform just in front of the entrance… And to finish the weekend, don’t miss the Jansz Family Sunday: every last Sunday of the month (from October to May) the restaurant is transformed and organizes a snack break for children with balloons, toys, movies and coloring tables.
Les Louves loves
to ogle over the cocktail menu of the bar, as enigmatic as it is inspiring. Drinks with mysterious names, whose recipes are jealously kept secret, that you’ll sip in an obscure and muffled atmosphere… We liked the spicy and slightly tangy mixture of the Oxford Lady and the coolness of the Lavish Party.
A hotel ideal for families who are keen on beautiful hotels, refined decorations and trendy spots; the caring welcome and the smile of the staff are a real plus when traveling with a baby.
