 | |  |  | Palatin Hotel (4 Agripas Street Jerusalem 94301): Palatin Hotel Compare Rates NEW! | Tip Rating:    Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
Friendly, helpful staff. Good location near to the great restaurants in New Jerusalem. Free wi-fi in the breakfast room, and in the lower rooms (but not on the higher floors). Clean, but scruffy. On a quiet side street, but the noise from the busy King George Street can be heard, as can the cars coming out of the car park opposite, and there is no double glazing. Views are of a garbage filled parking lot. Quite expensive for what you get, compared to European standards, but the rest of New Jerusalem is expensive too, so it might be about right. Heating inadaquate in winter.

The hotel is on your right as the road bends right and becomes Even Israel.Map: Palatin Hotel (4 Agripas Street Jerusalem 94301)

| | | | American Colony Hotel (1 Louis Vincent Street.): A joy Compare Rates NEW! | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
The American Colony is one of those very special places that half wants to tell the world, the other wants to keep it (the worst kept) secret! Originally a rich landowner's mansion, built in typical Ottoman style (ie solid blank exterior walls with all rooms opening out into the inner courtyard), the building was rented (and later purchased) in 1860 by a group of devout Christian Americans from Chicago - and so the 'American Colony' was thus born. It was the beginning of the 20th century, however, when Peter Ustinov's grandfather made arrangements for the overflow of visitors to stay at The American Colony, and so the concept of the hotel was first born. Nowadays, the hotel has all the luxuries of a 21st century hotel, with a new wing housing comfortable ensuite rooms. But the orignal building remains and a number of the rooms have been converted into luxurious rooms and suites. (owned as it is by Relais & Chateaux, only the best will do).
The hotel is second to none in Jerusalem (and arguably Israel). Hidden behind palms and established foliage, the 19th century oasis is the place for a comfortable and relaxed stay. 21st century meets Ottoman: the public rooms are grand without being ostentatious. The courtyard cafe (with the tinkling fountain) one of the most laidback places in Jerusalem. The Cellar Bar one of the happening places with Belly Dancers to provide that 'touch' of a flavour of the geographical location. The swimming pool at the rear of the building a welcome spot for some light relief. Rooms in the old building are grand with that touch of the 'old-fashioned'. Over-plumped pillows, billowing net curtains, dark mahogany furniture, extensive use of heavy Egyptian cotton. The new wing is one of less character but more modern in its functionality and facilities. On top of this, what is also a pleasure about staying at the hotel is the staff. Genuinely welcoming and helpful.
