David Citadel Hotel

Perfectly perched between the Old City and the new, David Citadel Hotel is one of the most sought-after luxury addresses in Jerusalem. Built from rough-hewn Jerusalem limestone, the posh property blends seamlessly into the ancient city skyline, belying the creature comforts found within its sand-toned walls. A glass-domed lobby designed by Piero Lissoni benefits from the desert’s nearly year-round sunshine, while a dark and soothing spa provides a serene respite from Jerusalem’s bustling streets. A handful of elegant dining venues showcase Israel-grown meats and produce with a side of Old City views, which can also be enjoyed from David Citadel’s spectacular heated pool. Not matter how you choose to spend your days, be sure to end your evening with a sundowner on your private balcony overlooking the ancient city walls — the view alone is reason enough to book a stay.
