Frommer's Recommended
For more than 20 years, this landmark tower on a hill at the western edge of the city was the Jerusalem Hilton, and some Jerusalemites still refer to it as such, which makes for confusion. Public areas, though spacious, are a bit jumbled. Panoramic views from the guest rooms, most with small balconies, are a plus, but the rooms themselves, though comfortable and well equipped, are not remarkable. Crowne rooms offer use of a lounge with snacks, and pampering attention. The location is perfect for conventions at the neighboring Binyinei Ha-Uma Convention Center, and the shopping arcade is good, but you're far from West Jerusalem's cafe-and-restaurant scene. The excellent (kosher) Kohinoor Indian restaurant is on the premises. Facilities: Restaurant; dining room; cafe; bar; small outdoor pool; miniature golf; tennis courts; health club; sauna; Jacuzzi; children's activities in season; playground; free downtown shuttle; business center; shopping arcade; room service; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms; synagogue; rooms for those w/limited mobility
