Dan Jerusalem Hotel

The Dan Jerusalem Hotel is an upscale hotel on Mount Scopus in Jerusalem, Israel, on a ridge to the north-east of the Old City with wide views toward the Old City skyline and the Judean Desert. The setting is quieter and more elevated than the downtown hotels, and it suits visitors who prefer panoramic views and a calm atmosphere to a walkable city-centre address. The Hebrew University campus and the Hadassah Mount Scopus hospital are nearby, and the Old City, the Mount of Olives and the downtown area can be reached by taxi or bus in around fifteen to twenty minutes, so most guests rely on transport rather than walking. Operated by Dan Hotels, the property has the style of a modern resort-like city hotel, with large public areas and a focus on the view. Rooms are offered as Standard, Deluxe and Suite categories, many with balconies or windows facing the Old City and the desert, and the suites offer extra space for families and longer stays. Amenities include an outdoor pool, a restaurant, a fitness centre, free wifi and panoramic viewpoints, and the pool and terrace areas are especially pleasant in the warmer months. Breakfast is a large buffet in the Israeli style, and the restaurant serves lunch and dinner, with a kosher kitchen that shapes the menu and service times. The service character is professional and relaxed, with a concierge able to arrange tours, transport and airport transfers, and facilities that suit families, conference guests and leisure travellers. Rates of roughly 800 to 1,800 ILS per night place the hotel in the upper mid-price band, and room rates vary with the view. The hotel works well as a restful base for visitors who want sunset views over the Old City and are comfortable travelling by taxi or car for sightseeing.
