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.

MoreWe stayed at the King David for 5 nights. It was a magnificent experience. From the moment we checked in to the time we checked out everything was perfect. The hotel is elegant. The breakfast each morning was beyond description. Shabbat dinner will always be our highlight of our stay at the hotel. The staff was courteous, professional and the concierge Mohammed could not have been more helpful. He deserves a special acknowledgement. The service was superlative. There are no more words to describe this hotel. My wife and I highly recommend it.

MoreThe King David Hotel continues to be THE outstanding hotel in Jerusalem - even with all the new kids on the block (most recently, the Orient). Beautiful grounds and swimming pool. Wonderful and friendly staff - the dining room team really make the guests feel at home. The food is excellent - La Regence is one of the top kosher restaurants in Israel, and definitely worth a visit - even if you are not staying in the hotel. The terrace cafe is also much improved compared to previous visits - a good menu, and attentive staff. Also a terrific view overlooking the Old City walls. In short, the hotel is expensive, but if you want a special treat then it really is the place to stay if you are in Jerusalem.

MoreThe King David is the most regal of hotels and has a rich & interesting history. The food & service are first class. The staff are incredibly helpful with a special nod to the Concierge desk who not only accommodate all requests but keep a watchful eye over the proceedings! Highly recommended hotel where you are treated just as if you were one of the many famous people who have stayed & left their signatures on the ‘walk of fame’ that runs through the hotel.
