I stayed here in early May 2013 for 4 nights at a rate of $255 (single) per night including breakfast. On arrival I was upgraded to a double, which was extremely comfortable (great king-sized bed) and large, with good cupboard space, a safe, a minibar, a great bathroom (and excellent cosmetics), a really strong shower, fluffy white bath-sheets and generous...

Jerusalem is where my wife and I were born and when we enter the American Colony, it feels like we have come home! From the moment we stepped in, the staff recognized us from our previous visits and the oriental hospitality and warmth was always there wherever we went, from the breakfast staff, to the valet, to the taxi drivers...

When the travel arranged hotel turned to be far less than advertised, the American Colony Hotel was able to accomodate us and our friends for our first night in Jerusalem - depsite it being during the peak holiday season. Great service, outstanding room and very tasty food! Very personal service and definitely deserving of its five star rating. Will book... More

Nice rooms with cleverly designed (partly antique) furniture. Internet functions well. Excellent breakfast buffet. The visit to the downstairs bar is a must. It has a unique atmosphere. The old town is within Walking distance and the staff is helpful in arranging larger excursions.

If you are in Jerusalem and you are looking for a luxury and pleasant stay you have to choose between the big palace standard of the "institutional" King David Hotel and the cozy experience of the American Colony. I had no doubt in choosing this last and my choice has been repaid. The hotel is created in a private area... More

We stayed in the Palm House building. It has been completely redone....beautiful job ! This hotel has so much character, charm and personality. The exact... More

I researched this hotel before I booked. You should too. Get the least expensive room and then just enjoy the rest of the hotel. This a touch of an Arabian nights fantasy, Rick and Elsa in Casablanca (my wife got sick of me doing my Bogie routine), and Ben Hur's house from the movie. Staff is great, the pool is... More
