Nestled between the heart of the Old City and the thriving Jerusalem of today- The American Colony Hotel is a captivating idyll. Honey-coloured Jerusalem stone reflects the endless light- while graceful archways and Ottoman-inspired details reveal verdant shady nooks - perfect for settling down with a city guide from the hotel bookshop. Each room has been beautifully appointed with original features and modern comforts. Turkish carpets are complemented by the finest Italian linen to create a distinctive escape. While generous balconies and garden terraces are fresh spaces for a frothy cappuccino or cool cocktail. When the Middle Eastern sun reaches its zenith- plunge into the meticulously landscaped pool - soothed by the sound of cascading water. Or take a stroll under the bowers of ancient olive trees in one of the three gardens- where fish ponds and fountains are shaded by lush local vegetation. Further afield- the culmination of centuries of culture- history and religion is just a short walk away. Enter the Damascus Gate- and enter another time- as you discover the heart of the Holy Land. The American Colony Hotel is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
