They have a main hotel and an older annex. The older annex is great if you are on a budget. We had made our reservations for the main hotel - the accommodations were very nice in a modern way. The courtyard terrace restaurant was pleasant and the breakfast buffet - included in the room price - was well appointed. The hotel is a short walk to Old Jerusalem.

This historic hotel is an oasis in an otherwise less-than-attractive neighborhood in stepped-on East Jerusalem. It is, however, the hotel with the best service, the most atmosphere, and the most famous guests. It has hosted peace talks and plenty of great writers. It's like a luxurious B&B, with a lush courtyard with fountain, an evocative restaurant, and spacious gardens. Rooms vary a lot, but all have all the modern luxuries and plenty of character. Finicky upper-crust travelers will prefer to be at the Dan Pearl, King David, or Hilton (all nice), but none are as memorable as this place.
