Beautiful setting. Great atmosphere. Excellent service. Clean, comfortable room. Delicious food. It does take a night to get used to the muezzin's morning wake-up call, but it soon fades into background noise...

The American Colony is a true luxury hotel, with all the small details attentively and thoughtfully addressed. I stayed in Pasha Room 33 in the Palm House. There was a small entryway with historical picture of the area. The bedroom itself was huge with windows on two sides providing great ambient light. The bed and linens were comfortable. The TV...

We stayed here in late May 2013. An oasis of colonial style in the bustle of busy Jerusalem. Our room was nicely furnished though it had been recently cleaned with something resembling detol, the smell thankfully wore off quickly. Our room overlooked the airconditioning unit, so we were unable to view the beautiful gardens directly from here. We used the... More

In mid-May of 2013, we had the good pleasure of spending one night at the American Colony Hotel in Jerusalem on the last night of our nine days in Israel, and it was a perfect way to end the trip. We were coming back from a two-day road trip in the Galilee, so we were utterly exhausted. We're more Days... More

I stayed here in early May 2013 for 4 nights at a rate of $255 (single) per night including breakfast. On arrival I was upgraded to a double, which was extremely comfortable (great king-sized bed) and large, with good cupboard space, a safe, a minibar, a great bathroom (and excellent cosmetics), a really strong shower, fluffy white bath-sheets and generous...

Jerusalem is where my wife and I were born and when we enter the American Colony, it feels like we have come home! From the moment we stepped in, the staff recognized us from our previous visits and the oriental hospitality and warmth was always there wherever we went, from the breakfast staff, to the valet, to the taxi drivers...

When the travel arranged hotel turned to be far less than advertised, the American Colony Hotel was able to accomodate us and our friends for our first night in Jerusalem - depsite it being during the peak holiday season. Great service, outstanding room and very tasty food! Very personal service and definitely deserving of its five star rating. Will book... More

Nice rooms with cleverly designed (partly antique) furniture. Internet functions well. Excellent breakfast buffet. The visit to the downstairs bar is a must. It has a unique atmosphere. The old town is within Walking distance and the staff is helpful in arranging larger excursions.

If you are in Jerusalem and you are looking for a luxury and pleasant stay you have to choose between the big palace standard of the "institutional" King David Hotel and the cozy experience of the American Colony. I had no doubt in choosing this last and my choice has been repaid. The hotel is created in a private area... More
