Dan Panorama Jerusalem

The Dan Panorama Jerusalem is a large upscale hotel at 39 Keren Hayesod Street in the downtown area of Jerusalem, Israel, close to the YMCA tower and the Great Synagogue. The location is convenient for visitors who want to reach several parts of the city without a car. Ben Yehuda Street, the Mamilla promenade and the Jaffa Road light rail line are all within a short walk, and Jaffa Gate and the Old City can be reached on foot in roughly twenty minutes. The hotel is a modern, high-rise style property run by Dan Hotels, and its character is that of a dependable business and group hotel rather than a historic or boutique stay. Rooms are offered as Standard, Superior and Suite categories, with views over the city centre and, from higher floors, toward the Old City and the surrounding hills. Amenities include a restaurant, a bar, a fitness centre, free wifi and a rooftop terrace that gives a wide panorama over the skyline, which is a popular spot at sunset. Dining is built around a large buffet breakfast with Israeli staples such as salads, cheeses, fish, breads and eggs, plus a restaurant offering lunch and dinner. As with most large Jerusalem hotels, the kitchen follows kosher rules, which affects the menu and the service of dairy and meat items. The service character is professional and international, with a concierge desk, multilingual staff and facilities that suit conferences, tour groups and families. Rates of roughly 900 to 1,900 ILS per night place the hotel in the upper mid-price band, and prices climb during Passover, Sukkot and other peak travel periods. The hotel does not have a spa or pool, so guests who want those facilities usually look to other Dan properties in the city. It works well as a practical base for sightseeing, shopping and day trips to the Dead Sea or Bethlehem.
