Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem is ranked every year among top of the world's great hotels and leading hotels in the Middle East by two of the most respected travel magazines in the world. The hotel was ranked as Conde Nast 2017 Best Hotel in Israel (for the third consecutive year) and as Travel + Leisure's 2018 Best Awards for the "The 10 Best City Hotels in Africa and the Middle East". The property was built in 1929 by the Mufti of Jerusalem as the first luxury hotel in the Middle East, named the Palace Hotel. The Palace offered luxuries that were unheard of at that time In 1948 with the establishment of the State of Israel, the government of Israel took over the deserted building for offices and the Ministry of Commerce and Trade occupied the building for over 50 years. In 2006 the property was bought and converted back to its original purpose – Renowned Luxury Hotel. The renovation works took nearly eight years to complete. As a heritage landmark, the façade of the building was never demolished and instead, a team of architects worked for three years to restore the 1929 architecture, and even the original main entrance has remained.

Our goal is to ensure that each guest will experience unique and authentic moments and feel home away from home with us.
