The King David Hotel
About the King David Hotel
Any discussion of luxury hotels in Jerusalem will invariably include the King David Hotel. Situated on King David Street, within walking distance of both the Old City and the capital’s bustling center, the King David Hotel is also a landmark piece of Jerusalem history. The hotel is notable for the sense of classic luxury, with impeccable services and a massive property that houses indoor and out door swimming pools, tennis courts, stunning gardens and gourmet restaurants.
The majestic building has been around since the 1920s, hosting myriad heads of state and celebrities, notably US presidents, Madonna, and the like – their unquestioned hotel is the King David. Other luxury hotels have cropped up in Jerusalem, including the nearby Mamilla Hotel and the David Citadel Hotel, but none, it seems, has managed to match up to the King David for pure elegance, old-world charm, and impeccable service.
In addition, the King David Hotel houses two restaurants (one meat, one dairy) and two bars (one inside, and one poolside) with cuisine made famous by its renowned King David chefs. Its breakfast is especially famous.
Even if you are not a guest, you can still take advantage of the King David Hotel’s eateries, spa services, haircuts, or other shops.

MoreThe King David continues old world charm and service. We started at the bar and Avi. One of the food and beverage service managers came over repeatedly to make we were having an excellent experience (we were). We chatted a bit and after discussing mutual experiences on Miami Beach (Florida), he convinced us to try the hotel restaurant. He secured us a reservation. He was right, the food and service were very good (if a bit pricey). All in all a very pleasant evening enhanced by Avi’s help.
LessA great welcome on arrival. The room was large, we stayed at the rear so overlooking the Old Town. the deco isn't modern, more a style in keeping probably from when it was built. It is a hotel that has character. One of those places you don't mind walking down the corridor to your...
MoreA great welcome on arrival. The room was large, we stayed at the rear so overlooking the Old Town. the deco isn't modern, more a style in keeping probably from when it was built. It is a hotel that has character. One of those places you don't mind walking down the corridor to your room. Rooms always kept clean and the night turn in was welcomed. Staff were very approachable and helpful. It was a lovely to experience the hotel.
LessWe spent 4 nights at the King David and the staff, and the entire stay was flawless! I am an admitted 'hotel snob' and for some reason I didn't expect that much from the King David going in...This assumption was way off base, this place has such an incredible feel that it is...
MoreWe spent 4 nights at the King David and the staff, and the entire stay was flawless! I am an admitted 'hotel snob' and for some reason I didn't expect that much from the King David going in...This assumption was way off base, this place has such an incredible feel that it is very hard to describe. From the check-in, the delicious and vast breakfasts, the room service (get the burger!), the room comfort/cleanliness, the K.D. was SPOT ON. It rained (a-lot) while we were in Jerusalem, but it was somehow okay since we were at the King David. And, if you are there, take a few minutes to watch the two continuously running videos on the hotel channel covering the remarkable history of the King David. You can't go wrong choosing the King David!
