For adventure and extreme sports enthusiasts, we offer jeep tours across Israel.
This full-day experience in four-seater jeeps takes you through the Judean Desert, including visits to some of the most stunning and hard-to-reach locations. The маршрут includes Gurkania and the ruins of the fortress of Queen Alexandra Salome.
Participants then ascend Mount Muntar, where breathtaking panoramic views await at the summit.
The journey continues with a descent through the Kidron Valley toward the desert monastery of Saint Sabbas — Mar Saba. From there, the route leads to Wadi Dargot, considered one of the most beautiful canyons in Judea.
We can also create customized itineraries in other regions of Israel, including the Negev Desert, the Galilee, and the Golan Heights.
Several companies in Israel offer breathtaking helicopter tours along a variety of routes.
These flights are ideal for both groups and individual travelers who appreciate exclusive viewpoints without the crowds. Each helicopter accommodates between three and six passengers, depending on the model.
The entire experience typically includes 1.5 to 3 hours of flight time, along with 1 to 2 hours on the ground for rest, refreshments, and close-up sightseeing. As a rule, the helicopters are piloted by highly experienced aviators, many of whom are former Israeli Air Force pilots.
There are several popular helicopter tour routes — including North, North & East, Central & East, South, and Jerusalem & the Dead Sea — though fully customized itineraries can also be arranged. These tours are especially well suited for business travelers who value their time, offering the opportunity to see, from above, the exact places they wish to visit—locations that would be difficult to cover efficiently on the ground.
Among the classic options, the “Central & East” and “North” routes are particularly popular.
The “Central & East” program includes a flight over modern Jerusalem and along the walls of the Old City, above the Mount of Olives, Mount Muntar, the fortress of Queen Alexandra Salome, and the Monastery of Saint Sabbas (Mar Saba). The route then continues toward the Dead Sea, circling the Ein Gedi Nature Reserve, followed by a landing near Masada. There, guests are met by a vehicle that takes them to the Masada Visitor Center, from which a guided walk begins through the palace of King Herod the Great and the famous fortress.
The “North” program includes a flight along the Mediterranean coastline near Netanya, over the archaeological site of Caesarea, the hills of Ramat Menashe, the ancient city of Megiddo and the Valley of Armageddon, the ruins of Beit She’an, the Crusader fortress of Belvoir, the Sea of Galilee, and the ancient megalith known as the “Wheel of Spirits,” visible only from the air. The route also covers the Jordan River and Capernaum. This program includes several stops as well — on a hill in the Jordan Valley for herbal tea, near the “Wheel of Spirits,” and for lunch in the Magdala area.
A sea cruise on a comfortable sailing yacht is a wonderful way to add variety to your holiday in Israel.
You can choose the format according to your preferences. Watching the sunset at sea — what could be more beautiful and romantic? A sea fishing trip is also a great way to spend time with friends or family. Yacht trips can be arranged from almost any Israeli city located on the Mediterranean or Red Sea coast.
Trips lasting from 2 to 5 hours can be organized on yachts of different sizes — from smaller vessels ideal for a romantic getaway for two, to spacious yachts accommodating groups of up to 12–15 people.
Upon request, hot and cold drinks as well as light snacks can be served during the yacht trip.
One of Israel’s defining hallmarks is its diamond industry, built on the centuries-old reputation of Jewish diamond cutters and enhanced by advanced technologies for diamond processing developed by Israeli scientists. Today, the Israel Diamond Exchange is one of the world’s largest hubs for diamond and polished diamond trading, accounting for up to 60% of the legal global trade in polished diamonds.
A wide selection of jewelry is available, including pieces set with precious gemstones, diamonds, and pearls, as well as uniquely designed gifts. You can also purchase loose diamonds, rough diamonds, and other precious stones separately. Each item comes with an internationally recognized warranty, a certificate of authenticity, and eligibility for a tax refund at the airport (Tax Free) upon purchase.
Those interested in purchasing diamonds—whether as fine jewelry or as a secure investment—can receive professional advice from specialists at companies that are members of the Israel Diamond Exchange. This allows clients to acquire high-quality diamonds “first-hand,” directly from the supplier. All diamonds are accompanied by certificates from recognized gemological laboratories and come with an international warranty. Full confidentiality is ensured upon request.
For those wishing to step inside the complex itself, there is an opportunity to witness firsthand how multi-million-dollar deals are conducted on the trading floor and to visit the office of one of the Exchange’s member companies. Due to the strict security and access control system in the Exchange’s office buildings, a visit must be arranged in advance.
Jews rose to a leading position in this field around 500 years ago, when Jewish merchants from Spain, fleeing the horrors of the Inquisition, settled in Belgium and the Netherlands. Evidence of this can be found in an official document from the Antwerp City Council: when Spanish authorities demanded the expulsion of the Jews who had found refuge in Antwerp, the council firmly refused, stating, “Through their work with diamonds, they bring us great profit.”
The diamond industry is a unique global sector that connects individual producers across different countries into one of the world’s most successful businesses. In some countries, diamonds are mined; in others, they are processed and traded; and in yet others, they are transformed into fine jewelry. All mined diamonds and polished stones are traded through five major diamond exchanges worldwide, one of which is located in Ramat Gan (a suburb of Tel Aviv). This exchange holds a leading position globally in both diamond processing and the sale of polished stones. Jewish jewelers and diamond cutters have long been renowned for their exceptional skill and craftsmanship, a tradition that has been preserved and further developed in Israel through the use of advanced technologies created by Israeli scientists.
The Israel Diamond Exchange is truly “a state within a state”. It consists of a complex of four high-rise buildings—“Shimshon,” “Maccabi,” “Noam,” and “Yahalom”—housing more than a thousand offices of member companies. Within the complex are trading halls for wholesale deals, diamond processing factories and cutting facilities, jewelry stores and exhibition spaces, the Harry Oppenheimer Diamond Museum, bank branches, a customs office, postal services, a medical clinic, prayer rooms, shops, restaurants, and cafés.
Membership in the Israel Diamond Exchange requires meeting strict admission criteria, including recommendations from four current members and extensive professional experience. Today, approximately 3,000 people work within the Exchange, including manufacturers, traders of rough diamonds, and dealers in polished stones.
Diamond cutting and polishing facilities here employ innovative technologies developed largely in Israel. These include computer-aided design of diamonds, laser cutting systems, and advanced polishing techniques. Equally important is the unique expertise of Israeli diamond polishers, each possessing their own specialized know-how, enabling them to handle even the largest and most valuable stones with confidence.
Every day, more than 6,000 buyers from around the world come here to purchase diamonds, many carrying stones worth millions of dollars in their cases. As a result, the Israel Diamond Exchange complex is equipped with state-of-the-art security systems. Entry is permitted only by invitation from a member company and requires thorough document screening.
Transactions worth enormous sums are concluded daily at the diamond exchange in Ramat Gan. The complex provides all necessary services for evaluating diamonds, including gemological laboratories, precision weighing on highly accurate electronic scales, and a wide range of measurement and inspection equipment.
Israel exerts significant influence on the global diamond trade. A striking example of this is the tradition observed not only at the Israel Diamond Exchange but also at exchanges worldwide: deals between buyers and sellers are often sealed with a simple handshake accompanied by the words “mazal u’bracha”—Hebrew for “good luck and blessings”. No contracts, lawyers, or notarization are required. In the diamond business, a dealer’s reputation is valued above any document or seal.
Calligraphy is the art of beautiful writing, and beauty itself is the reflection of harmony. In the Holy City of Jerusalem, nothing is accidental—just as in the sacred language of Biblical Hebrew, where every word and even each letter reveals the mysteries of the universe. In the hands of Jerusalem master of sacred and artistic calligraphy, Avraham Borshchevsky, these ancient letters come to life before your very eyes.
Avraham Borshchevsky is a renowned Israeli sofer (scribe) and calligrapher for the Office of the President of the State of Israel, as well as a member of the Israel Artists’ Union. In 2004, he created the unique “Tsar Mezuzah”, recognized by leading rabbis as a masterpiece of sacred calligraphy. This kosher mezuzah was entered into the Guinness World Records as the largest and most valuable of its kind in history.
Since 2009, the Tsar Mezuzah has been exhibited at the Museum of World Calligraphy and at international exhibitions. Handwritten parchment works by Avraham Borshchevsky, featuring classical biblical texts, have been displayed in exhibitions across Europe, Asia, and America.
The artist’s unique creations are highly sought after as exclusive representative gifts from Israel and are held in museums and private collections in more than 60 countries worldwide. Among the owners of his works are presidents and prime ministers, religious leaders, prominent philanthropists, and public figures.
For those wishing to explore the art of Jewish calligraphy, Avraham Borshchevsky offers engaging masterclasses in his art studio. This is an unforgettable journey into the history of alphabetic writing, religions, numerology, Kabbalah, and mystical amulets, featuring a live demonstration of authentic techniques—writing with a quill pen and special ink on natural parchment made from the hides of kosher animals.
In addition to luxurious artistic parchments featuring biblical texts, Avraham Borshchevsky creates mezuzahs and traditional Jewish blessings for the home, family, and business. This is a unique opportunity to commission and receive exclusive gifts—even for those who seem to have everything.
Each parchment has its own distinctive texture, and Israel is a world leader in parchment production. A meaningful souvenir from Israel is a personalized parchment talisman bearing your name, written in the letters of the sacred alphabet. Each piece is accompanied by a personalized printed certificate from Avraham Borshchevsky, including the biblical Aaronic Blessing and a numerological interpretation of the name’s gematria, along with a reference chart of the Hebrew alphabet’s numerical values.
An original lifelong gift-talisman for a birthday, anniversary, Bar Mitzvah, or Bat Mitzvah can be a handwritten excerpt from the Torah, individually selected by the artist based on the recipient’s date of birth. Upon request, such a parchment can be enhanced with special biblical blessings and artistically decorated.

Visitors to the “Antiquities Shop” are offered a unique opportunity to acquire rare ancient coins and collectibles from the Roman, Byzantine, and later periods. Each purchase is accompanied by an official certificate of authenticity.
Since its founding, Israel has had to defend its independence.

Situated on an elevated site, the King David Hotel offers incomparable views of the Old City, with its minarets and domes. The Old City of Jerusalem, located just a 15-minute walk from the hotel, is divided into four quarters: Jewish, Armenian, Christian, and Muslim. Each quarter has an incredibly rich history spanning thousands of years.
For many visitors to the country, the city’s main attractions are, above all, its holy sites. The Western Wall is the most sacred place for the Jewish people, while Al-Aqsa Mosque is one of the three holiest sites in Islam.
In the Christian Quarter, visitors can walk along the Via Dolorosa, the path Jesus took 2,000 years ago on his way to Golgotha. This route ends at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where he was crucified. The sights and sounds of the Old City are unlike anything else and leave a lasting impression on tourists.
The King David Jerusalem offers all the comfort and luxury expected of a modern five-star hotel. Thanks to its location, magnificent views, and exceptional level of comfort, it is truly one of the best places to stay in Jerusalem.
Guests can enjoy an outdoor swimming pool and a spacious garden overlooking the Old City. All rooms are air-conditioned, and many offer views of the Old City and Mount Zion. The hotel features four restaurants. The popular open-air King’s Garden Restaurant serves traditional Israeli cuisine.
The King David provides numerous sports facilities, including a tennis court and a modern fitness center. In summer, guests also have access to both an outdoor pool and a children’s pool. Recommended by many travel publications, the hotel is located in the city center—just a few minutes’ walk from the Mamilla Mall.
Consistently ranked among the world’s top 100 hotels by Robb Report, the King David Jerusalem is one of the few hotels where guests are treated like royalty throughout their stay. The hotel is also a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
A bit of history:
In 1929, the Palestine Hotels Ltd. purchased 4.5 acres of land on what is now King David Street. Half of the construction costs were financed by Albert Mosseri, an Egyptian Jewish banker and director of the National Bank of Egypt; 46% was covered by several Jewish investors from Cairo, and about 4% by the Egyptian National Bank.
Since its opening, the hotel has hosted royalty and prominent figures, including Nazli Sabri and Abdullah I of Jordan. It also served as a residence for monarchs in exile, such as Alfonso XIII of Spain, who left the country after the 1931 revolution; Haile Selassie I, who went into exile during the Italo-Ethiopian War in 1936; and George II of Greece, who established his government there after the Nazi occupation of Greece in 1942. During the British Mandate for Palestine, the southern wing of the hotel housed the headquarters of the British administration and military command.
In July 1946, the underground Jewish organization Irgun carried out a bombing in this wing of the hotel, causing the collapse of the building’s southwestern corner.
After the attack, the hotel complex remained in use by the British administration until May 4, 1948. Once the British left, the building was used by Israelis as an administrative center. Two additional floors were later added, and shortly after the end of the Six-Day War, the hotel resumed its commercial operations.

Welcome to The Drisco, a member of the prestigious The Leading Hotels of the World.
The Drisco Hotel is a unique blend of American colonial style, European luxury, and modern design.
The hotel is located in the heart of the historic American Colony and occupies two beautifully restored buildings, offering magnificent views of the Mediterranean Sea, old Jaffa, and Tel Aviv. One of these buildings—the historic Hardegg’s Jerusalem Hotel—was the very first hotel in Jaffa, built in 1866 by the Drisco brothers. It houses most of the standard and luxury rooms, as well as the lobby, reception desk, Zada restaurant, Drisco Bar, and a TechnoGym fitness center.

This part of the hotel is known as Villa Drisco, and together with the main building, it forms the fully restored complex of The Drisco Hotel.

Perhaps anyone traveling north in Israel along the coastal highway notices, just past Caesarea, a slightly futuristic building that seems to float atop a mountain. This is the Elma Arts Complex Luxury Hotel—formerly the Mivtachim sanatorium. Its clean white lines, geometric forms, exposed concrete, and elevated blocks that create a “floating” effect are a true embodiment of Israeli design of the 1960s.
The exceptionally comfortable Elma Hotel in Zikhron Ya’akov is a truly unique place. Not only is it located in a beautiful setting on a mountainside overlooking the sea, and not only does its history reflect that of Zikhron Ya’akov itself, but it is also a cultural complex—a center for music and the arts. Its corridors house a permanent exhibition of artworks from the private collection of the hotel’s owner, Lily Elstein. The hotel’s galleries host exhibitions, while its two halls—“Cube” and “Alon”—feature concerts of classical and chamber music, jazz, Israeli rock, vocal performances, and percussion.
The “Cube” hall is also used for lectures, ethnic and experimental music concerts, and club events, while the “Alon” hall is dedicated to classical performances. The Elma Music and Arts Center regularly offers several subscription series, including organ music concerts. For the Alon Hall, the German firm Orgelbau Klais created a unique organ with 1,414 pipes. In terms of acoustics, this hall is considered one of the best in Israel.
The central part of the Elma complex was built in 1968 by architect Yaakov Rechter, who received the Israel Prize for this project in 1972. In 2006, the old building and its surrounding grounds were purchased by Lily Elstein, granddaughter of the founders of Zikhron Ya’akov. When she learned that the hotel in her hometown was to be demolished, she decided to save it and transform it into an international arts center and luxury hotel. She invested 350 million shekels and years of work into the restoration and development of the complex, with the participation of architect Amnon Rechter, the son of Yaakov Rechter. Her vision was not just a hotel, but a concept combining style, design, and art. Lily Elstein is an art collector and patron who supports young talents. The name “Elma” comes from the initials of the project: Elstein Music & Art.
The London-based firm United Designers redesigned the public areas of Elma in accordance with Elstein’s vision. Clean, classical lines highlight the exhibition spaces, for which three spacious galleries with a total area of 750 square meters were created.
The The Jaffa, a Luxury Collection Hotel (part of the Fattal Limited Edition) is an architectural masterpiece that seamlessly blends millennia-old history with contemporary minimalism.
The studio of British designer John Pawson carried out a complete renovation of the former monastery of the Saint Joseph de l’Apparition in Jaffa. The building was transformed into a boutique hotel with an outdoor swimming pool. Historically, the monastery complex included the Louis IX Hospital and a pilgrims’ hostel, functioning actively from the 1880s until the late 1960s, when the hospital was closed. Most of the complex was later leased by the State of Israel and used as a psychiatric hospital until 1997.
John Pawson collaborated with Israeli architect and environmentalist Rami Gill to transform the monastery buildings, blending various architectural styles—including Arab and Neo-Romanesque—with modern design elements. Original stained glass windows and historic stonework were carefully preserved. Excavations revealed remains of Crusader-era fortifications, which have now been integrated into the hotel’s interior. Landscape design for the project was created by the New York–based firm Rees Roberts + Partners. Pawson retained many historical details while harmoniously combining them with contemporary furnishings.
The hotel offers 120 rooms and suites, many of which provide stunning views of Jaffa, the Mediterranean Sea, or the charming inner courtyard.
Perched on a hill in the ancient Mediterranean port of Jaffa, just south of central Tel Aviv, the hotel is surrounded by one of the city’s most fashionable and historic districts. Just minutes from the sea, The Jaffa offers an ideal combination of service, style, and modern luxury.
The Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem is a luxurious hotel located in the very heart of the city, at the intersection of King David, Agron, and Mamilla streets, just a few minutes’ walk from the Jaffa Gate of the Old City. The building is nearly 90 years old and reflects a blend of Greco-Roman, Gothic, and Ottoman architectural styles.
By staying in one of its 226 luxurious rooms, guests can fully experience the benefits of first-class service and comfort. Enjoy refreshing drinks at the “King’s Court” lounge bar or savor exquisite Mediterranean cuisine prepared with the finest local ingredients in one of the hotel’s two upscale restaurants. Guests can also dine outdoors while admiring the unique architecture of the 1920s–1930s. A modern fitness center helps guests stay in shape, while the hotel also features a spa and a swimming pool.
And what to do in your free time? Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world and is considered sacred by followers of many religions. It is home to numerous historical and spiritual landmarks of the three major monotheistic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Enter the Old City through Jaffa Gate; just to the right stands the Tower of David, a unique architectural monument and ancient fortress associated with King David and his son Solomon, now housing the Jerusalem History Museum.
The Old City is traditionally divided into four quarters: Jewish, Armenian, Christian, and Muslim. Wander through its ancient streets, visit the Western Wall, explore its churches, and experience the city’s unique atmosphere.
Be sure to visit the vibrant Mahane Yehuda Market, where you can find Middle Eastern goods, fabrics, and local delicacies. Stop by the exclusive boutiques at Mamilla Mall, located near Jaffa Gate, directly opposite the Old City, where numerous flagship stores welcome visitors.
And now, a bit of history.
There was a figure named Haj Amin al-Husseini. As the Mufti of Jerusalem, he was also a leader of the Arab nationalist movement and a personal associate of Adolf Hitler, who even granted him the status of an “honorary Aryan.”
In 1928, concerned about the construction of the King David Jerusalem—initiated by a Jewish financier—al-Husseini decided to provide what he saw as a “symmetrical response” to Jewish involvement in the city’s hotel industry. He hired 500 workers and, notably, Jewish subcontractors to build his own hotel. Construction progressed rapidly, and the building was completed within a year. During the foundation works, several Mamluk-era graves discovered on site were destroyed—reportedly in violation of Islamic traditions—and workers were instructed not to speak about it.
In 1929, the hotel—then called the “Palace Hotel”—opened its carved wooden doors to guests. Luxurious and richly decorated, it featured high marble columns in the lobby, ornate stone carvings, canopied beds, and, notably for the time in the Middle East, telephones in every room. Although the Palace Hotel was built earlier and impressed with its opulent Eastern style, by 1935 it ceased to operate as a hotel, unable to compete with the King David. The building was then handed over to the British administration for office use.
Nevertheless, some rooms were reserved for distinguished guests of the Mufti; in 1936, Adolf Eichmann stayed there. That same year, the hotel hosted the Peel Commission, led by Lord Peel, which aimed to address the Arab–Jewish conflict in Mandatory Palestine.
After the Israeli War of Independence, the building became home to ministries of the young State of Israel. In 1999, it was acquired by a company associated with the Hyatt chain, but remained unused until 2005. Only then, after being purchased by new owners, did it become the foundation for the construction of the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem, which began in 2010. From the original Palace Hotel, only the outer walls with their intricate stone carvings have been preserved.
The King David Jerusalem, one of the world’s legendary hotels, is also one of Jerusalem’s main landmarks. It is undoubtedly the most famous hotel in Israel’s capital. Today, it is part of the Israeli hotel chain Dan Hotels. The King David is one of the country’s most luxurious hotels, welcoming heads of state, leading politicians, and international celebrities.

The The Scots Hotel is a luxurious property established by the Church of Scotland in 2004 within the historic complex of a former Scottish hospital. It uniquely combines 19th-century basalt buildings with the facilities and services of a modern hotel.

In addition to light snacks, refreshing fruit cocktails, hot beverages, and a selection of cakes, the bar offers around 80 types of whisky—most of them from Scotland—as well as a wide variety of gin from top distilleries.

Welcome to The Drisco, a member of the prestigious The Leading Hotels of the World.
The Drisco Hotel is a unique blend of American colonial style, European luxury, and modern design.
The hotel is located in the heart of the historic American Colony and occupies two beautifully restored buildings, offering magnificent views of the Mediterranean Sea, old Jaffa, and Tel Aviv. One of these buildings—the historic Hardegg’s Jerusalem Hotel—was the very first hotel in Jaffa, built in 1866 by the Drisco brothers. It houses most of the standard and luxury rooms, as well as the lobby, reception desk, Zada restaurant, Drisco Bar, and a TechnoGym fitness center.
The second building is the original Norton House, named after Mr. P.A. Norton, one of the early settlers of the American Colony. This three-story wooden structure offers a variety of rooms with picturesque views of the inner Piazza courtyard and old Jaffa. This part of the hotel is known as Villa Drisco, and together with the main building, it forms the fully restored complex of The Drisco Hotel.
All rooms feature elegant design and are equipped with modern amenities to ensure guests’ comfort. In addition, guests can enjoy the refined and stylish atmosphere of the Drisco Bar, while the Zada restaurant offers exquisite dishes inspired by Ottoman cuisine—originally created for Turkish sultans.
The hotel offers a wide range of amenities and personalized services, including:

Perhaps anyone traveling north in Israel along the coastal highway notices, just past Caesarea, a slightly futuristic building that seems to float atop a mountain. This is the Elma Arts Complex Luxury Hotel—formerly the Mivtachim sanatorium. Its clean white lines, geometric forms, exposed concrete, and elevated blocks that create a “floating” effect are a true embodiment of Israeli design of the 1960s.
The exceptionally comfortable Elma Hotel in Zikhron Ya’akov is a truly unique place. Not only is it located in a beautiful setting on a mountainside overlooking the sea, and not only does its history reflect that of Zikhron Ya’akov itself, but it is also a cultural complex—a center for music and the arts. Its corridors house a permanent exhibition of artworks from the private collection of the hotel’s owner, Lily Elstein. The hotel’s galleries host exhibitions, while its two halls—“Cube” and “Alon”—feature concerts of classical and chamber music, jazz, Israeli rock, vocal performances, and percussion.
The “Cube” hall is also used for lectures, ethnic and experimental music concerts, and club events, while the “Alon” hall is dedicated to classical performances. The Elma Music and Arts Center regularly offers several subscription series, including organ music concerts. For the Alon Hall, the German firm Orgelbau Klais created a unique organ with 1,414 pipes. In terms of acoustics, this hall is considered one of the best in Israel.
The central part of the Elma complex was built in 1968 by architect Yaakov Rechter, who received the Israel Prize for this project in 1972. In 2006, the old building and its surrounding grounds were purchased by Lily Elstein, granddaughter of the founders of Zikhron Ya’akov. When she learned that the hotel in her hometown was to be demolished, she decided to save it and transform it into an international arts center and luxury hotel. She invested 350 million shekels and years of work into the restoration and development of the complex, with the participation of architect Amnon Rechter, the son of Yaakov Rechter. Her vision was not just a hotel, but a concept combining style, design, and art. Lily Elstein is an art collector and patron who supports young talents. The name “Elma” comes from the initials of the project: Elstein Music & Art.
The London-based firm United Designers redesigned the public areas of Elma in accordance with Elstein’s vision. Clean, classical lines highlight the exhibition spaces, for which three spacious galleries with a total area of 750 square meters were created.
The The Jaffa, a Luxury Collection Hotel (part of the Fattal Limited Edition) is an architectural masterpiece that seamlessly blends millennia-old history with contemporary minimalism.
The studio of British designer John Pawson carried out a complete renovation of the former monastery of the Saint Joseph de l’Apparition in Jaffa. The building was transformed into a boutique hotel with an outdoor swimming pool. Historically, the monastery complex included the Louis IX Hospital and a pilgrims’ hostel, functioning actively from the 1880s until the late 1960s, when the hospital was closed. Most of the complex was later leased by the State of Israel and used as a psychiatric hospital until 1997.
John Pawson collaborated with Israeli architect and environmentalist Rami Gill to transform the monastery buildings, blending various architectural styles—including Arab and Neo-Romanesque—with modern design elements. Original stained glass windows and historic stonework were carefully preserved. Excavations revealed remains of Crusader-era fortifications, which have now been integrated into the hotel’s interior. Landscape design for the project was created by the New York–based firm Rees Roberts + Partners. Pawson retained many historical details while harmoniously combining them with contemporary furnishings.
The hotel offers 120 rooms and suites, many of which provide stunning views of Jaffa, the Mediterranean Sea, or the charming inner courtyard.
Perched on a hill in the ancient Mediterranean port of Jaffa, just south of central Tel Aviv, the hotel is surrounded by one of the city’s most fashionable and historic districts. Just minutes from the sea, The Jaffa offers an ideal combination of service, style, and modern luxury.
The Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem is a luxurious hotel located in the very heart of the city, at the intersection of King David, Agron, and Mamilla streets, just a few minutes’ walk from the Jaffa Gate of the Old City. The building is nearly 90 years old and reflects a blend of Greco-Roman, Gothic, and Ottoman architectural styles.
By staying in one of its 226 luxurious rooms, guests can fully experience the benefits of first-class service and comfort. Enjoy refreshing drinks at the “King’s Court” lounge bar or savor exquisite Mediterranean cuisine prepared with the finest local ingredients in one of the hotel’s two upscale restaurants. Guests can also dine outdoors while admiring the unique architecture of the 1920s–1930s. A modern fitness center helps guests stay in shape, while the hotel also features a spa and a swimming pool.
And what to do in your free time? Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world and is considered sacred by followers of many religions. It is home to numerous historical and spiritual landmarks of the three major monotheistic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Enter the Old City through Jaffa Gate; just to the right stands the Tower of David, a unique architectural monument and ancient fortress associated with King David and his son Solomon, now housing the Jerusalem History Museum.
The Old City is traditionally divided into four quarters: Jewish, Armenian, Christian, and Muslim. Wander through its ancient streets, visit the Western Wall, explore its churches, and experience the city’s unique atmosphere.
Be sure to visit the vibrant Mahane Yehuda Market, where you can find Middle Eastern goods, fabrics, and local delicacies. Stop by the exclusive boutiques at Mamilla Mall, located near Jaffa Gate, directly opposite the Old City, where numerous flagship stores welcome visitors.
And now, a bit of history.
There was a figure named Haj Amin al-Husseini. As the Mufti of Jerusalem, he was also a leader of the Arab nationalist movement and a personal associate of Adolf Hitler, who even granted him the status of an “honorary Aryan.”
In 1928, concerned about the construction of the King David Jerusalem—initiated by a Jewish financier—al-Husseini decided to provide what he saw as a “symmetrical response” to Jewish involvement in the city’s hotel industry. He hired 500 workers and, notably, Jewish subcontractors to build his own hotel. Construction progressed rapidly, and the building was completed within a year. During the foundation works, several Mamluk-era graves discovered on site were destroyed—reportedly in violation of Islamic traditions—and workers were instructed not to speak about it.
In 1929, the hotel—then called the “Palace Hotel”—opened its carved wooden doors to guests. Luxurious and richly decorated, it featured high marble columns in the lobby, ornate stone carvings, canopied beds, and, notably for the time in the Middle East, telephones in every room. Although the Palace Hotel was built earlier and impressed with its opulent Eastern style, by 1935 it ceased to operate as a hotel, unable to compete with the King David. The building was then handed over to the British administration for office use.
Nevertheless, some rooms were reserved for distinguished guests of the Mufti; in 1936, Adolf Eichmann stayed there. That same year, the hotel hosted the Peel Commission, led by Lord Peel, which aimed to address the Arab–Jewish conflict in Mandatory Palestine.
After the Israeli War of Independence, the building became home to ministries of the young State of Israel. In 1999, it was acquired by a company associated with the Hyatt chain, but remained unused until 2005. Only then, after being purchased by new owners, did it become the foundation for the construction of the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem, which began in 2010. From the original Palace Hotel, only the outer walls with their intricate stone carvings have been preserved.
