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.

The room was quiet and had a small terrace overlooking the Old City--beautiful day and night. Comfortable bed, smaller bathroom, but all you need really. Small but functional gym, nice pool, walking distance to many restaurants. All in all, a classic hotel in the heart of Jerusalem that didn't disappoint.

The grounds and pool are still quite nice, you cannot beat the location. But the overall vibe is super dated, from the lobby to the rooms. We were upgraded to a nice nice room, which I truly appreciate. However, the furniture is that overstuffed look popular in the early 90s. We were warned to...
MoreThe grounds and pool are still quite nice, you cannot beat the location. But the overall vibe is super dated, from the lobby to the rooms. We were upgraded to a nice nice room, which I truly appreciate. However, the furniture is that overstuffed look popular in the early 90s. We were warned to stay somewhere else because the place was tired, but we stayed because of the location. If you are looking for luxury this is not it. After a makeover, I would recommend. Lastly, we ate the restaurant and it was probably the worst meal I’ve had in years. The service was superb! The actual meal was just terrible. Mixed review here - hope this helps !
LessI was 5 nights in the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. Amazing hotel. The service is so professional - starts with the bell boys (this time it was David and Amit). In the reception with Vega and Marat with Karim, Razi, Motee, Mahmoud, Karawe. Continue to the dinning room with Rashid, Taleb, Fouad, Izik,...

Tomer the concierge that does expelente job, helped us with wheelchair and crutches Just feeling that I got such an amazing experience in the King David Hotel. Would like to thank all the team that leads this hotel to be what it is. Worth every penny we pay for. מלון המלך דוד פשוט נפלא מקצועי ונותן תחושה נפלאה לאורחים שלו, החל בבל בויז, בהמשך בצוות של הקבלה, הקונסיירג׳ שעוזר בכל פנייה אליו. צוות הקבלה שעשה עבודה מקצועית ואדיבה, וכמובן חדר האוכל על אנשיו המקצועיים. בהחלט שווה.
