The David Citadel Hotel
About the David Citadel Hotel
Facing the Old City walls down the street from the King David Hotel is the 5+ star David Citadel Hotel. One of the most prestigious hotels in Jerusalem, the David Citadel offers a breathtaking view of the Old City walls and its namesake, the Tower of David, as well as all of the amenities one would expect in such an exclusive hotel.
The David Citadel Hotel was designed by architect Moshe Safdie, who applied the same blend of Jerusalem elements and neo-oriental style in the adjacent Mamilla Hotel and pedestrian mall.
The David Citadel Hotel also offers a wealth of dining options as well as luxurious spa facilities to add a sensual and relaxing element to your stay in Jerusalem, as well as gorgeous event facilities that can host various types of events.

We had a very nice and pleasant stay with 3 kids in the David Citadel Hotel. We were looking for a child friendly hotel on the one hand but also well situated. We didn't use our car the entire stay since the hotel is so well situated. The staff were very kind and pleasant....

There is some defect about this hotel. Room is beautiful, plenty of space and closets. Fabulous shower and more than enough toiletries--although no body cream. But, dining there is awful. So crowded that it is often hard to maneuver between tables and chairs to get to the food tables which...
MoreThere is some defect about this hotel. Room is beautiful, plenty of space and closets. Fabulous shower and more than enough toiletries--although no body cream. But, dining there is awful. So crowded that it is often hard to maneuver between tables and chairs to get to the food tables which are scattered/ If you are in the interior room for breakfast and want a good cup of coffee , the stand is on the far side of the exterior room. That is IF you don't want to wait for the waiter to bring a hot cappuccino. The food is good, but if you don't arrive early, many things a too picked over and not replaced. We were with a handicapped guest who really could not manage there with the tables and her walker... The pool is lovely--at 28 degrees, even when the outdoor temperature was in the mid-teens, a swim is a treat. There was no parking in the hotel--too full, so the nearby Mamilla parking was the best option for a weekday, but 50 shekels. The location and views make up for a lot of the failings, but there are better top class hotels in Jerusalem.
