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.

My family and I have been coming to the Citadel for years and one of the highlights of our time at the hotel is seeing Said Amouri. Every morning at breakfast he greets us with a smile and remembers the whole families orders - it’s ready for us without even asking! Said noticed I like grapefruit juice and the next thing morning he brought out fresh grapefruit juice from the kitchen (it’s delicious). Said is kind and enjoyable to speak with. This trip, we also got to meet Abed Kaisi, who helps us have the best breakfast experience. Starting our day with Said and Abed has made the world of a difference with our experience at this hotel. The way a morning starts can set the tone for the entire day, I can’t imagine my stay at the Citadel without them!

During my visit with my family to David Citadel Hotel, the stay was very comfortable and the services were excellent. The hotel especially stood out for its outstanding room service and cleanliness. In the evening hours, there was a cheerful staff member who was always smiling and happily fulfilled all requests. His name was Nidal, from the housekeeping department, and he truly deserves special thanks and appreciation.
