Best Hotels in Jerusalem (by Category)

This page lists the best regular, luxury, and boutique hotels in Jerusalem. You can also see the distance to the Old City and the rating.

Note: in the featured photo, you can see the King David Hotel. This historical building houses a luxury hotel, and many foreign presidents and ministers stay there.

Before going over the best hotels, let’s answer two related questions.

What is the best time to visit Jerusalem?

From the weather perspective, Spring (September – November) and Autumn (end of February till May) are the best months to visit Jerusalem. But January and February were the cheapest months.

For more info, see: What is the Best Time to visit Israel?

What is the best place to stay in Jerusalem?

Most attractions in Jerusalem are located inside and near the Old City. Thus you can stay in the area near the Old City or near one of the Light Rail stations.

Notes:

• If you plan to use public transport, remember that from Friday afternoon till Saturday evening, there is no public transport in Jerusalem. Also, they might be no public transport during holidays.
• You can see an interactive map with attractions at the bottom of this page.

Notes to all tables:

• The price column only gives an estimation and might differ from actual rates. Prices were calculated based on November rates (when checking about a month in advance). The price is an average of three weekdays for a couple.
• See the distance column to find the best hotels in Jerusalem near the Old City. For all hotels close to the Old City, I included walking distance to Jaffa Gate or Damascus Gate. And for hotels inside the Old City, the distance column says “Inside the Old City.”
• All the tables on this page contain only hotels with ratings of 8+ on Booking.com.
• If you are looking for budget alternatives, then additionally to hotels, you can search for hostels and apartments on Booking.com. From my experience, you can find non-expensive flats.
• All the tables on this page do not contain information about parking. If you read my Israel Trip Planner, then you know that I suggest visiting big cities without a car (you can rent a car afterward).
• The tables contain affiliate links to Booking.com.
