The Waldorf Astoria

This hotel is a real jewel, elegant and an oasis of luxury on the edge of the Old City of what must be one of the most captivating places on earth. From the first moment, one is faced with an assuredly professional level of service that is almost intuitive. Location is fantastic and most places of interest are within walking distance or very easily accessible. Staff are superb and the welcome is delightful. The room was amazing, with a vast balcony with stunning views. The room was simply fantastic, with many added features. Dining was elegant and full of creative flourishes. It should be remembered that dining is strictly kosher so that certain combinations that some might be accustomed to - e.g. dairy and meat - do not exist. That being said, the evening meal was wonderful with cooking of a very high standard, inventive dishes and a strong focus on quality. Service was of the highest standard. Wines very expensive, but of good quality and a highly knowledgeable sommelier to boot. The hotel is relaxing and elegant, with much to offer. All made even more memorable by the staff. In particular, George the doorman and concierge was outstanding. A wonderful place to stay and eat.
