Located in the Mamilla district overlooking the Old City, this hotel is the result of a partnership between Italian designer Piero Lissoni and Israeli-born architect Moshe Safdie.
Using local Jerusalem stone throughout the building, Safdie gives the hotel a sense of authenticity. Inside, Lissoni has crafted 194 rooms, studios and suites with dark wooden floors, custom-designed black leather furniture and bathrooms with liquid-crystal glass walls. The hotel has an indoor pool, while the sundeck and rooftop Italian brasserie offer big views.
