Mamilla Hotel, Jerusalem

A beautiful balance of old and new, featuring panoramic views and an unbeatable location, discover the charm and intrigue of Jerusalem at Mamilla Hotel. The contemporary, sleek design contrasts perfectly with local, traditional materials to create spaces such as the striking limestone lobby which blend the mountains surrounding the city with cutting-edge interiors. The spectacular spaces don’t end there though and you need only head up to the Rooftop Lounge, Akasha Spa, Mirror Bar – or one of the 194 rooms and suites – to uncover further masterpieces. A place where traditional therapies go in hand with flair cocktails, Mamilla Hotel is the perfect representation of Jerusalem.

LOCATION

Within a short five-minute walk to Jaffa Gate and the Tower of David, the Mamilla Hotel is a fantastic base for exploring the city. Other landmarks, including the Dome of the Rock and the Western Wall, are also within a stone’s throw. However, it’s not only the sights that bring travellers to the area, but Jerusalem’s burgeoning restaurant scene also awaits, and you’ll also be based next to the capital’s many galleries, theatres and gardens.

YOUR ROOM

Mamilla’s 194 rooms and suites are designed to capture the essence of time and the various textures of Israel’s storied past and celebrated future. Where silk meets stone, high-tech meets hand-carved and concrete meets hand-crafted oak. Large open windows flood the spacious, open-planned rooms with natural light whilst simple designs and a colour palette of cooling white and earthy tones with sparks of bright colour create tranquil spaces to unwind after a culture-packed day.
