Hotel The American Colony Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World
1 Louis Vincent Street, Jerusalem, 97200 – Great location - show map
I come back because of the value for money and the staff that is top notch professional and exceedingly friendly and knowledgable of the guest needs. It is a jewel!
United States of Americarooms, staff were great. bar is a hidden little gem
United States of AmericaThe property was absolutely decorated beautifully at Christmas. The fireplace in the common area was popular since it was chilly outside. We did not get to enjoy the outside area but it look wonderful.
United States of AmericaWe loved the history, style, location of the American Colony Hotel. Loved that there was a buzzer to ring for the "poolboy" - gotta love that! Our room was perfect - very large/spacious/comfortable. We could easily walk from our hotel to the Old City. The breakfast was HUGE, and it was charming to sit in the courtyard. Make sure to have a cocktail at the summer bar. The hotel arranged for us to do a Masada/Dead Sea tour...very easy & a must see!
United States of AmericaLoved the hotel architecture and style, Lovely garden and wonderful pool. Small gym but has nice equipment and usually not busy. In general this is relatively small, boutique like hotel, very relaxing and quite, a place to “ clean the head” and feel like abroad. The Staff is nice. Prominent languages are English and Arabic, but Hebrew is welcomed as well .

One of our top picks in Jerusalem
The seeds of the American Colony Hotel were sown in 1902, when Baron Ustinov (grandfather of actor Sir Peter Ustinov),needed suitable accommodation in Jerusalem to house his visitors. Before long, the American Colony became a lodging for Western travelers and pilgrims. The American Colony is still owned and run by the descendants of the original founding community now for 150 years.
