Pulitzer Amsterdam is a five-star hotel on the Prinsengracht that offers meeting rooms, private dining rooms and wedding spaces for groups of 7 to 150 guests. It occupies 25 connected canal houses from the 17th and 18th centuries in the historic canal district of Amsterdam.
Seminars and company events
The hotel presents its rooms as a continuation of the canal-house tradition of trade and meetings. For business use there are four main spaces: the Garden Room, the Saxenburg Room, the Saxenburg Galleries and the Copper Rooms. They suit board meetings, management dinners, client receptions and small conferences. A floor plan and capacity chart is available from the hotel.
The Garden Room is the largest, a conservatory in the heart of the gardens, reached through an art-filled foyer. The Copper Rooms are small and private, above the restaurant Jansz., and work for business meetings of up to 20 people.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel and its classic salon boat are an official wedding location of the city of Amsterdam. Couples can marry in the Saxenburg House or in one of the Copper Rooms, and guests can arrive through a private entrance on the Keizersgracht or by boat at the jetty on the Prinsengracht. The hotel lists 8 wedding spaces and has a wedding specialist who prepares a tailored proposal, including cake, drinks, flowers and decoration. A beauty house on site offers hair and nail services for the wedding party.
Rooms and capacities
The Garden Room takes up to 150 guests for a reception, and up to 120 for a seated dinner. The Saxenburg Room takes up to 75. The Saxenburg Galleries, two rooms separated by a removable partition, take up to 36 and look onto the Keizersgracht. Each of the three Copper Rooms, the Copper Chamber, Copper Attic and Copper Study, takes up to 20. The restaurant Jansz. has a semi-private dining area for up to 7 guests overlooking the Keizersgracht.
Accommodation
As a hotel, Pulitzer can house guests on site, in suites and rooms set in the same canal houses. The official site does not state the total number of bedrooms in the pages read, so ask the hotel for the figure when you plan a residential event.
Catering
Dining takes place in the hotel's restaurant Jansz., which serves modern Dutch cuisine, in Pulitzer's Bar and in the Pulitzer Garden. For private events, the hotel's team prepares menus with you, and for weddings the wedding specialists arrange the menu, cake, flowers and decoration.
History and setting
The hotel is a maze of 25 interlinked houses around four inner gardens, combining traditional Dutch craftsmanship with modern design. The Saxenburg House has a hand-painted ceiling, a chandelier and a view over the garden, and the Saxenburg Galleries hold art from the Dutch Golden Age. The Copper Rooms are named after the copper merchant Volkert Jansz.
Getting there
Pulitzer Amsterdam is at Prinsengracht 323, in the canal district, close to the Nine Streets. Guests can also arrive by boat at the hotel's jetty on the Prinsengracht.
