Character and identity
Set on the seam between Jerusalem's Old City and the modern downtown, this 384-room Moshe Safdie design is clad in rough Jerusalem limestone and steps down in a terraced horseshoe so that nearly every room frames the ancient walls. Piero Lissoni's interiors run clean and contemporary: local stone, herringbone floors, bespoke furniture, and a glass-domed lobby that pulls in desert light. A heated pool perches over the Old City, Spa by Akasha handles treatments in low-lit calm, and the dining venues lean on Israeli produce and meats. Kosher throughout. Service is polished and discreet.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and design-minded travellers who want a serious Jerusalem base with Old City views from the balcony, plus families who'll make use of Funland, the playroom themed around Machane Yehuda and the city's tunnels. Spa-goers, pool loungers, and anyone who values architectural pedigree and a kosher kitchen will feel at home.
Should look elsewhere:
Travellers seeking a boutique-scale, intimate stay should look smaller; at 384 rooms this operates at city-hotel pace. Those wanting non-kosher dining flexibility or late-night buzz on property will find the offering more restrained than in Tel Aviv.
Bottom line
The view is the product. The terraced design means an Old City-facing balcony is what you're really paying for, and it delivers in a way few hotels in the world can match. Book a room category that guarantees the Old City orientation rather than New City or pool, plan an evening drink on the balcony at sundown, and lean into the spa and pool between sightseeing days.
