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 is a true classic first class hotel. My family has been staying at the Citadel for years. We feel at home, especially since it is one of the few if only hotels in Jerusalem that has had the same staff for many years. It is so nice to walk into the dining room and the Maître d' and waiter give you a hug and welcome you back. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. The front desk and concierge are very helpful. Best location in Jerusalem.

Our stay at the David Citadel Hotel in Jerusalem was exceptional! The food is truly rare and of chef-restaurant quality — a real culinary experience. The service was outstanding, and the cleanliness is on another level. We've made it a tradition to return every year with the family. Highly recommended!

Outstanding Experience! We had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The food was absolutely exceptional – truly some of the best hotel cuisine I’ve ever had. The service was attentive and warm, making us feel right at home. Our room was spotless and spacious, featuring a comfortable king-size bed. The children’s playhouse was impressive, fully equipped with everything the kids could possibly need. This is exactly what you expect from a 5-star hotel. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

We had an incredible experience at the David Citadel Hotel during Passover. The hotel is absolutely beautiful — elegant and perfectly located. Our room was spacious and the view second to none. The food throughout our stay, especially for the holiday, was fantastic — fresh, plentiful, and thoughtfully prepared. Special thanks to Manuel Arbid, one of the managers, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The entire staff was warm, professional, and attentive. We can’t wait to return and would highly recommend the David Citadel to anyone visiting Jerusalem!
