Jerusalem Hotels

Israel, also known as the City of Peace, is a deeply religious city that has throughout history been the centre of controversy and much fighting. As such, many of the sights and attractions that the beautiful city has to offer are centred around its plight and its religions. There are a very good selection of attractions and an equally impressive array of both five star and four star hotels in which you can stay during a trip to the city.

About Jerusalem

Jerusalem combines many cultures and religions, some of them pre-dating Christianity. Jerusalem has been conquered six times and two Holy Temples were destroyed. Following the tyrannous rule of Antiochus when the Jews were forced to worship Greek Gods, the Romans took over the city and forced Jews out of Jerusalem and essentially caused Judaism to vanish.

Things To Do In Jerusalem

Fortunately, Jerusalem is a more enlightened city in the modern age and it combines the religions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. There are a great many holy sites to visit including the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Golgotha, the tomb of Philip d’Aubigne, and a vast collection of religious art and artefacts that are found in many sights across the city.

Choosing Jerusalem Hotels

Five star Jerusalem hotels offer complete luxury with incredible architecture and often a lot of history surrounding the site itself. For those on a slightly lower budget, there is also a very good selection of four star hotels which still offer luxury and comfort but in a lower price bracket than the five star hotels.

The American Colony Hotel

Of the five star Jerusalem hotels, the American Colony Hotel is one of the finest. Landscaped gardens and reading lounges set the tone for a tranquil stay and the rooms which are situated in three different buildings offer free Wi-Fi, free mineral water, and luxurious bathrooms.

Eldan Hotel

The Eldan Hotel is a sandy looking four star hotel which is only a 10 minute walk from the Jaffa Gate. Cable TV and Wi-Fi access are included in every room while a friendly and helpful staff are on hand 24 hours a day to answer questions, help with queries and ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable.
