The American Colony Hotel travel42 Professional Hotel Review

Location and History

This famous East Jerusalem boutique-hotel, built in 1860 by Ottoman Pasha al-Hussein for his harem of four wives, retains its historic charm. It's a 10-minute walk to the Old City's Damascus Gate.

This hotel is approximately a 45-minute drive from Ben Gurion International Airport. Owned by a British family, managed by a Swiss company and staffed mainly by locals, the American Colony combines the best of all these disparate worlds.
