The timeless alleyways of the Old City, the Western Wall and Tower of David, the bustling Machne Yehuda market, the Mamilla Avenue and an abundance of New City attractions are all within easy walking distance from this landmark hotel in Jerusalem. Originally designed by Moshe Safdie, winner of the AIA Gold Medal, the David Citadel's well-planned public spaces and 385 luxuriously appointed rooms and suites have recently received a facelift by renowned Italian designer Piero Lissoni who introduced the warm atmosphere of Jerusalem through natural lighting, traditional colors and rich artworks painted by David Roberts during his 1834 Grand Tour. Lissoni's vision included oak parquet flooring, abundant greenery, soft lights and textured fabrics in a palette of rich colors that welcome guests today.

The Citadel hotel is a home away from home. It always feels like coming back to our extended family. Munir takes care of everybody and cares about each detail for his guests. The experience from starting with Muriel, Katerina, Baha, and the entire Citadel team is to be remembered

The David Citadel is a nice hotel in a great location but there were certain aspects of our stay which would leave me to choose another hotel in Jerusalem for our next trip to Israel. First, the quality of the food is really not good. Our stay was over Shabbat so all of our meals were buffet style. There was lots of food but none of it was good. There are also no gluten free options. The busboys and waiters are very aggressive and repeatedly try to remove your plate while you are still eating. It was very noticeable and annoying. There were times during our stay when we simply wanted to sit outside, have a drink and enjoy the view of the Old City. There is a lovely pool area which was packed during the day and closes early in the evening, around 6pm when we were there. We had to go over to the King David where we had some drinks with a great view of the pool area and the Old City. Kind of riduculous that we had to do that given we were staying at 5 Star hotel. Its too bad because TDC is in a great location right next to the Mamilla Mall but there are much better options in Jerusalem.

We stayed at this hotel during the New Year Holiday. The hotel , food and service were all excellent. Of special note was the fantastic service and care that Samir extended to us whilst we were dining. He is a wonderful ambassador not only for the David Citadel but for Christians living and working in Israel Highly Recommended
