The hotel’s dignified public spaces evoke a sense of history. The fabled King David has one of the most stunning views of the Old City and is in the exclusive Yemin Moshe neighborhood. The palatial European-designed limestone building, completed in 1931, was built by the Egyptian-Jewish Mosseri family. Its dignified public spaces are adorned with Assyrian, Hittite, Phoenician and Muslim motifs evoking a sense of history, fitting for a hotel which has been the setting for many world changing events. The vibe itself is totally serene, with landscaped gardens and pine trees surrounding the city's largest pool. All suites have sweeping vistas of Jerusalem's Old City walls. Grandest are the sprawling Jerusalem, Presidential and Royal Suites on the upper floors.
