Behind a historic stone façade near the Jaffa Gate, Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem combines an airy glass atrium, exceptionally large rooms, indoor pool and Israel’s only Guerlain Spa.
Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem occupies a historic stone building less than a kilometer from the Jaffa Gate and the Old City. The location is one of the property’s greatest strengths, allowing many of Jerusalem’s most important religious and historic sites to be reached on foot.
Inside, a large glass-roofed atrium creates a striking contrast with the traditional exterior. Guestrooms are notably spacious for Jerusalem and blend classic detailing with contemporary bathrooms and modern technology.
The Guerlain Spa is the only one of its kind in Israel and anchors the hotel’s wellness program. An indoor pool and fitness facilities make the property a true full-service luxury hotel rather than simply a heritage address.
Dining follows kosher standards and includes elegant restaurants, afternoon tea and traditional Shabbat service. The food-and-beverage experience reflects the city more directly than a generic international hotel program.
Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem is best for travelers who want Old City proximity but prefer the services and amenities of a modern luxury hotel. The historic façade, atrium and Guerlain Spa give it a strong sense of occasion.
