Lock in a great price for The American Colony Hotel - The Leading Hotels of the World – rated 8.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

The woman at the front desk was such a help and had a very friendly demeanor about her.

Elizabeth, United States of America

Beautiful historic hotel, fantastic garden for very romantic dinners and great food. Well located at 10 minutes from the old city centre. Excellent recommendation for walking tour in old Jerusalem with Hannah!

Ann, Switzerland

Great atmosphere, wonderful garden, very friendly staff!

Marcin, Poland

The American Colony Hotel deserves its excellent reputation: it is like a crossing between a museum and a very comfortable manor house, pleasantly secluded from the busier areas of Jerusalem and yet close enough to the Old City of Jerusalem and all the main attractions. The building itself boasts gorgeous Oriental tiles, an elegant swimming pool and a pretty courtyard restaurant - no gilding or chintz, but plenty of discreet elegance. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, with plenty of quaint, old-fashioned furniture and fittings that somehow look just right in such a venerable building. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel, and food was invariably plentiful and delicious! As in many luxury hotels, the real stars at the American Colony are its staff: impeccably professional and always willing to help (especially the gentleman running the bar!).

Vitor, Belgium

.Special atmosphere, good vibe, (historical place) well preserved ,An island of sanity and beauty where time stands still, in the center of a busy and troubled world its perfect refuge.. two nights and I felt like a week's holiday... The staff is attentive... the place is very clean

Nitsa, Israel

This hotel has a lot of old school charm. The staff are super friendly, the facilities are great and it really does feel special. The outside courtyard attached to the restaurant is a gorgeous place to sit and eat and the buzzer system for calling a waiter when you want a drink by the pool is funny but works ;-)

Alex, Germany

We absolutely loved our stay here. The hotel itself is stunning and the rooms and facilities are fantastic - but for me, the real stars are the staff - friendly, kind and helpful at all times. Will definitely be back!

Michael, United Kingdom

An Inside Look at The American Colony Hotel - The Leading Hotels of the World

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.

- • Comfort Double Room with Balcony
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉It's tired and old school (we have heritage, so don't need worry about anything else, you have money and are too stupid to worry), not worth the money and they should stop signing for guests for breakfast - we were not told we had pay for breakfast for our two night trip, they signed for us the first night - which is pretty immoral and then slapped us with a bill for £100 on our departure. We were then told it was our fault we should have known we had pay - oh and our phone did not work in our room, so we had to go to the hall to use one there

“Old school charm which makes it feel like you're somewhere very special”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Classic Pasha Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Whilst the staff were really friendly, the restaurant staff need to be more "on it" e.g. checking when things have run out at breakfast and just being more on top of things. There were enough of them to be able to do this. The outside bar closes quite early.
눇This hotel has a lot of old school charm. The staff are super friendly, the facilities are great and it really does feel special. The outside courtyard attached to the restaurant is a gorgeous place to sit and eat and the buzzer system for calling a waiter when you want a drink by the pool is funny but works ;-)
