Welcome to Jerusalem Hotel

The Jerusalem Hotel as a site, a building and a business has been intertwined with history since the Byzantine Period. The building was constructed on top of the foundations of a Byzantine church part of which was newly discovered in the backyard behind the hotel. The building was never intended to be a hotel. In the beginning of the century it was an Ottoman police station and a mobilization site where Ottomans recruited young men to the world war. It later became a house for one of the affluent families of Jerusalem, a school and finally a guest house since 1950.

Each of our 14 rooms has its own character partly due to the nature of the architecture and partly because of the uniqueness of each room's furniture. All furniture is carefully hand carved with formations inspired by early Islamic and Andalucian designs. Each bed, closet, bureau, mirror, chair and side table offer additional details that further differentiate each room.intertwined with history since the Byzantine Period.
