Rooms
Spread across four buildings that incorporate the hotel’s old and new wings, the 94 individually designed rooms and suites vary in size and layout. The Pasha rooms with classic decor, dark woods, Ottoman style furnishings, and plush leather seating are the most elegant. Some of these rooms also feature 100-year-old stone flooring and vaulted or ornate painted ceilings.
Location
The hotel is located to the north of the Old City, within a short taxi ride from many of Jerusalem's main sites, including Yad Vashem, Mahane Yehuda Market, and the Western Wall. The Damascus Gate is a ten-minute taxi ride away.
Food and drink
The hotel has several dining options, including the secluded Courtyard Restaurant where tables are dotted around a garden of mature mulberry trees, tropical flowers, and a central fountain. There’s also the pool-facing Val’s Brasserie for lunch and dinner and the Arabesque Restaurant in the Palm House for a more formal dining experience. Elsewhere, there’s the Cellar Bar and the Summer Bar, both open seasonally.
Facilities and activities
Complete with Jerusalem stone, Italian glass mosaic tiles, and cascading water features, the outdoor swimming pool is heated from May to October. The hotel also has a Swedish sauna as well as a fitness room with cardio equipment such as treadmills and free weights. Massages are available on request, but charges apply.
