The American Colony Hotel

A tribute to tranquillity in the heart of historic Jerusalem

A historic part of this ancient landscape, The American Colony Hotel in Jerusalem is steeped in the stories of the city. Once the site of an American-Swedish commune, the hotel retains its utopian ideals with tranquil spaces dedicated to relaxation and contemplation.

The soft curves of Ottoman-inspired architecture reveal hidden courtyards and corners, with fragrant gardens in abundance. Creamy Jerusalem stone walls and vaulted ceilings are dappled with endless sunlight from graceful arched windows. From the summer suites with shaded terraces to the authentically-appointed winter rooms, every floor and room has a character of its own. Expect beds made in Italian Frette linens, and bathrooms stocked with Aqua di Parma toiletries and snow-white bathrobes.

After a classic buffet breakfast of Mediterranean salads, fresh breads and made-to-order eggs, stroll down to Damascus Gate to discover the marvels of the Old City, or get a taste of today’s wonders, with a visit to the buzzing shuk – a market for all the senses. After a day soaking up the spirit of Jerusalem’s past and present, a summer sundowner in the hotel’s Summer Bar is the perfect way to relax.

The American Colony Hotel

Paradise found

Stroll in the shade of leafy mulberry trees, discover secluded spots beside glassy fish ponds, or watch the sunset surrounded by ancient olive groves. From the fragrance of the East House Garden to the gentle chink of raised glasses in the Courtyard, The American Colony Hotel’s verdant spaces are for slowing down and enjoying the simple things.

Hidden treasures

Oriental carpets and intricate ceramics jostle alongside intriguing antiques in the Bakarat Antiquarian’s captivating cave of wonders. Then there’s the American Colony Hotel’s bookshop, where floor-to-ceiling shelves are stacked with the history, culture and politics of the city. In the Print Shop, a range of beautifully reproduced prints from the original archives reveal the Holy Land in a new light: a timeless keepsake from a timeless city.

Seasons in the city

Traditional Middle Eastern flavours are infused with the history and seasons of the city at the American Colony Hotel. From the salads of a Mediterranean breakfast to a light lunch of beautifully charred fish, fresh from the charcoal grill, summer is dedicated to vibrant, refreshing dishes. The grand Arabesque dining room is reserved for classic cuisine, accompanied by boutique wines from the hotel’s private cellar. Round the evening off with a steaming Turkish coffee – served black with a sweet side of flaky baklava.
