Prima Park Hotel Jerusalem

The Park Hotel Jerusalem sits at the end of the row of hotels atop the Begin Highway at Herzl Boulevard, equally near the city's entrance and the immaculately landscaped Nayot neighborhood, home to the Knesset, the Israel Museum and other Jerusalem landmarks. While downtown and the Old City are a bit outside of walking distance except for devoted trekkers, the proximity of many fine museums means a fascinating Jerusalem experience is still close at hand.

The Park Hotel Jerusalem itself, with 217 rooms in standard and "superior" options (with seven suites), is a pleasant three-star facility equally suited for families and the solo business traveler (the International Convention Center is conveniently near). Several lounges provide ample opportunity for relaxation or informal meetings, with dedicated meeting rooms for serious business. Other welcome amenities include free parking and free hotel-wide wireless Internet – not to mention an indoor pool and squash and tennis facilities. Guests also receive free access to the gym at the nearby Givat Ram campus of the Hebrew University.
