The renewed Dan Jerusalem Hotel

The Dan Jerusalem Hotel’s location, close to Mount Scopus, is very special. The views of Jerusalem and the desert hills is breathtaking. The mix between a quiet environment and a large and pampering hotel lends itself to a very special hospitality experience.

The hotel has over 500 rooms, among them luxurious suites. It has a well-equipped business area, large halls for conferences, a play area for children and more.

Amongst the services offered are a shuttle service, a laundry service, a taxi station at the entrance to the hotel that is open 24 hours a day, a gift shop, a concierge, free parking (based on availability), room service, voice mail, free WiFi in the rooms and public areas (up to three devices per room) and a synagogue.

The rooms have cable TV, a mini bar, a safe and a coffee and tea set.

Ready to get wet? In the summer enjoy the outdoor pool and on cooler days, take advantage of the indoor pool. The hotel also houses what is considered to be the largest spa in Jerusalem. You could easily dedicate a full day to spoiling yourself with relaxing treatments given by the professional massage team or just stop by for an hour or two to take advantage of the exercise room.

When you get to the dining room, you’ll really get to see how much the Dan Hotel invests in you. The breakfast and dinner buffet is rich with variety and choice. The hotel also has a restaurant and café where you can get a taste of a wide range of dishes and sweets inspired by the Mediterranean kitchen and classic European cooking.

Of course once in Jerusalem, you’ll most probably want to travel around the city. The Dan Jerusalem Hotel’s close proximity to the light rail will allow you easy movement and a quick connection with the center of town.
