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.

MoreMy adult son and I enjoyed a delicious lunch within elegant surroundings at this historic, 1929 landmark hotel. Offering views of the walls surrounding Old Jerusalem beyond, it was a delightful experience to dine within this prominent establishment, which has played host to dignitaries while visiting The Holy Land throughout the years. A "runway" down the center hallway floor of the lobby reflects signatures of some of the celebrities and notables who have graced the establishment. Should you stay at the King David Hotel, a 15 minute walk down through a park will lead you up to the Jaffa Gate into the Old City. Great Location!

The very pleasant stay was related not only to the impressive and very well maintained facility but even more to the personal service we got from the e-Dan team which made every possible effort to satisfy our needs and make our stay an unforgetable experience We will certainly come back in the future Zipi and Avi Cramer

MoreIf you want to feel like a king for your vacation, this is probably the best option in Jerusalem, and probably in Israel too. This is just an amazing hotel, great facilities, decoration. Room was very spacious, with panoramic view of the old city and comfy bed. We visited the hotel during COVID19 pandemic, and the hotel is well organised, sanitised and prepared accordingly. The team itself was super helpful, and the hotel is truly deserved the 5 star rank.
