About the Hotel
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.

Reviews for The David Citadel Hotel
OG of hotels in the OG of cities.
Another lovely stay. Said makes a wonderful cortado. Jerusalem is the OG of OGs. Like no place on earth.

Beautiful hotel, beautiful views, great location
This was our 3rd stay and we continue to love this hotel. Easy luxury. Well maintained facilities, very helpful staff, very family friendly. The pool in the summer is a highlight. Plenty of shade and an amazing view of the old city while swimming in a large pool with a weekend cafe that serves the most delicious watermelon and popsicles (and an entire meat menu). There is also a kids' playroom with very nice attendants that take the time to make sure the kids have what they need to enjoy their play including lots of crayons and colored pencils for coloring/drawing, setting up the playstation, and getting us extra foosball balls when needed. The rooms are nicely appointed and the room attendants were always fast to bring extra towels or waters or whatever else we asked for. The large Israeli breakfast is exactly what you'd hope it would be and the waitstaff always makes sure you have your coffee and a chocolate milk for the kids. We have had the same waiter, Said, each time we come. He is warm and helpful with the kids and we make a point to look for him when we are there. Asal at the front desk was very helpful over multiple requests dealing with our multiple reservations. Overall this is a wonderful hotel that cares for their guests and we look forward to our next stay.
