The Best Boutique Hotels in Amsterdam
1. Pulitzer
Hotel phone: +31 20 523 5235
This is one of my favorite hotels in Amsterdam and it’s always a treat for me to stay here. It’s a gorgeous hotel made up of twenty-five 17th and 18th century canal houses. It has a private boat for canal cruises, a courtyard garden, and lovely restaurant, café, and bar. Each room and suite is unique in size, layout, and décor, but all include bicycle repair kits and marble bathrooms. Top tier Extraordinary Suites are themed (Book, Art, Antique, and Music) and all boast canal views, a custom bar setup, and private entrances. Ideal location in the Western Canal Ring in the Nine Streets neighborhood on the Prinsingracht canal, just a short walk to Jordaan and the Anne Frank House. I love the bike tire patch kit that’s provided in each room.

2. The Dylan

Erstwhile Golden Age theatre turned into a luxury boutique hotel with a 17th-century stone gate, understated elegance, and clean lines. The rooms and suites are spread across 2 canal-side buildings, come in four different styles, and feature a mix of antique, vintage, and contemporary furnishings. Michelin-starred casual restaurant, lively bar, and award-winning service complete the experience. In the heart of the canal ring, the location is ideal for sightseeing on foot, as well as shopping and dining out.
