Best Preferred Hotels & Resorts in Amsterdam

What the Hotel Pulitzer lacks in amenities guests say it makes up for in stellar location and style. There is no spa or pool on-site, but with popular points of interest, including the Anne Frank House and the Nine Streets neighborhood nearby, guests likely won't need any extra on-site thrills to keep them entertained. The hotel is spread across 25 classic Dutch houses, most of which are situated along the canals. This translates to plenty of opportunities to view the picturesque waterways from the comfort of your own bed. Standard rooms achieve a look that is both contemporary and cozy, with natural wood headboards backed by exposed brick walls or vaulted ceilings, tufted velvet ottomans and colorful chaise lounges. Its chic boutique sensibility seamlessly carries into its outdoor spaces and restaurants. Guests loved the hotel's gardens, which sit comfortably between its many buildings, offering a quiet escape from the city. There are also three eateries on-site, including a hotel bar. Care to explore beyond the confines of the hotel? Consider signing up for a 75-minute canal tour in the hotel's own salon boat (not included in your room rate).

Situated in the heart of the city, the NH Collection Amsterdam Doelen is an ideal lodging choice for sightseers. Staying at this hotel means guests are just a short walk or tram ride from several popular Amsterdam attractions, including the Rembrandt House Museum, the Leidseplein neighborhood and the Rijksmuseum. The hotel's 81 rooms are outfitted in a color scheme of cream, gold and red, and include rainforest showers, Nespresso coffee makers, free Wi-Fi access, minibars and safes. If you want a view, request a room overlooking the canal. On-site amenities at this property are limited, but the NH Collection Amsterdam Doelen offers 24-hour room service, a business center and a library. Additionally, the hotel can arrange for an airport shuttle for a fee, and its guest relations team is available to assist with dining reservations (the hotel only serves a buffet breakfast on-site), sightseeing tips and special requests. Past travelers were very impressed with the helpful guest relations team and said they appreciated the property's evening wine and cheese receptions. What's more, because the hotel belongs to the Preferred Hotels & Resorts portfolio, iPrefer Hotel Rewards members are able to rack up or redeem points at this property.
