1. Pulitzer Amsterdam

Set within 25 restored 17th- and 18th-century canal houses, Pulitzer Amsterdam is a testament to the trade history of the Dutch East India Company. Wealthy merchants built homes along the inner rings of canals, making it a prime location. Consequently, taking a cruise is essential when visiting Amsterdam, and readers appreciated the opportunity to enjoy this experience on the Pulitzer’s own saloon boat, which can be booked privately along with a food and beverage package. This exceptional experience at dusk has been highlighted by guests. Additionally, superb service at this hotel is noted frequently. A guest mentioned arriving early and being provided with another comfortable room until theirs was ready, exemplifying the hotel’s commitment to service.
