The Inbal Jerusalem
Great hotel and excellent location. Only thing I did to like much was the staff. Not very friendly, in fact pretty rude, not great service.

Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem
We spent a few days with two kids - very good location and quality, so anyone would understand what they are paying for. We checked a few other "luxury" hotels nearby while exploring around and, to our great surprise, we came to a conclusion that this one is most likely the best among them.

The David Citadel Jerusalem
A beautiful hotel in the heart of the city. I was allowed an early check-in and a late checkout. I was able to witness Shabbat and was in walking distance to all the beautiful treasures of our beautiful city.
