Jerusalem Hotels: All you need to know before booking your hotel in Jerusalem



‬A comfortable place to rest your head makes a world of a difference when you wake up all energized and well spirited‭, ‬ready to experience everything Jerusalem has to offer‭.

‬ ‭Location‭, ‬location‭, ‬location‭
Jerusalem is not a city lacking in hotels‭, ‬but since the hotels are located throughout the city‭, ‬itís important to find a location that suits your needs‭. ‬Jerusalem hotels are centered in three main regions‭, ‬and depending on where you\'d wish to be nearest to‭, ‬you should decide which one suits you the best‭.

‭The regions are as follows‭:
City Center/Near the Old City‭: ‬The City Center has the largest hub of hotels in Jerusalem that feature both budget and luxury and everything in between‭. ‬Staying in the center also allows quick access to Jerusalemís Old City‭, ‬dozens of Jerusalem attractions and within walking distance to Jerusalemís best restaurants‭. ‬Hotels close to the Old City include the David Citadel Hotel‭, ‬the Inbal Hotel‭, ‬Mamilla Hotel‭, ‬Harmony Hotel and the Mount Zion Hotel‭. ‬If you want to be directly in the City Center you can choose among the Prima Kings Hotel‭, ‬Leonardo Plaza Hotel‭, ‬Montefiore Hotel‭, ‬Jerusalem Tower Hotel and the Palatin Hotel‭.

‭City Entrance‭: ‬
Conveniently located near Road 1‭, ‬lodging here allows for a quick exit from Jerusalem to locations such as Tel Aviv and the Dead Sea‭. ‬They are also within walking distance of the Central Bus Station as well as‭ ‬Binyanei Hauma‭, ‬Jerusalemís International Convention Center‭. ‬The hotels in this area include the Jerusalem Gold Hotel‭, ‬Jerusalem Gate Hotel‭, ‬Park Hotel Leonardo Inn Hotel and the Ramada Hotel‭.

‬ ‭East Jerusalem‭: ‬
The most well known hotel in this area‭, ‬and one of the oldest‭, ‬is the American Colony Hotel‭. ‬In the late nineties‭, ‬several four star hotels such as the Olive Tree‭, ‬the Grand Court Hotel and the Leondardo Hotel Jerusalem were erected in this area‭. ‬This location is a great choice for itís proximity to the Old City via the Damascus Gate‭.

How much will a hotel in Jerusalem cost me‭?
As with hotels in Israel and throughout the world‭, ‬Hotels in Jerusalem follow a star rating system‭. ‬Five star hotels spare no luxury‭, ‬provide the highest level of hospitality and are priced accordingly‭. ‬ ‭

For those seeking quality accommodation at a lower cost can find excellent options such as the Mount Zion Hotel‭, ‬Prima Royale‭, ‬Prima Kings‭, ‬Dan Boutique Hotel‭, ‬Grand Court Hotel‭, ‬Olive Tree Hotel and the Jerusalem Gold Hotel‭. ‬Other good three star options include the Montefiore Hotel‭, ‬Harmony Hotel‭, ‬the Park Hotel and the Leondardo Hotel‭.

There are also smaller‭, ‬reasonably priced boutique hotels such as Little House in the Colony‭, ‬Little House in Baka‭, ‬Little House in Rechavia and the Palatin Hotel‭. ‬ ‭

‬When to visit Jerusalem‭?
The best season to visit Jerusalem is the spring or fall‭, ‬avoiding both the oppressive middle eastern sun as well as the throngs of tourists‭. ‬During the summer the city is packed with tourists and all the hotels are fully occupied‭, ‬and the rates are at their highest‭. ‬Reasonable prices‭ (‬and gorgeous weather‭) ‬can be found in May‭. ‬The timing is great‭, ‬as May is located between the Passover holiday and summer vacation‭, ‬which means a low season for many of the venues which means significantly lower rates‭. ‬Another option is to right after the Jewish high holiday season‭, ‬usually sometime in late October‭.‬ ‭‬ That said‭, ‬Jerusalem is a wonderful place to visit year round‭.
