never ceases to enamour South African-born designer Jacu Strauss, who upon being appointed creative director of the city’s leading hotel brand Pulitzer, moved to the Dutch capital for the entirety of, sleeping a night in each mocked-up bedroom to feel out their unique character. Today, the hotel – which offers 225 rooms and suites across 25 restored 17th- and 18th-century canal houses – continues reinventing itself and finding new ways to celebrate Dutch heritage, all with Strauss at the helm.
Meanwhile, the Merchant Suite is a spacious three-story concept comprising a master bedroom with a private bathroom, two additional bedrooms and bathrooms, a generous study, a dining area and a separate kitchenette equipped with a wine fridge. The set-up, ideal for families or large groups, overlooks the Keizersgracht Canal and is just a four-minute walk from the fabled Anne Frank House.
In addition to the new suite offerings, Pulitzer Amsterdam has recently delved into the micro-wellness sector with the launch of The Beauty House: an exclusive and design-oriented space offering a wide range of services, including manicures, pedicures, facials, massages and hair styling treatments. With capacity for up to ten guests, the intimate sanctuary comprises a private treatment room, three beauty and hair studios and a separate social area.
