Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem
We spent a few days with two kids - very good location and quality, so anyone would understand what they are paying for. We checked a few other "luxury" hotels nearby while exploring around and, to our great surprise, we came to a conclusion that this one is most likely the best among them.

Cassia Hotel Jerusalem
Clean and comfortable room (no carpets), good location (walking distance of Great Synagogue, Old City and Emek Refaim), fast lifts (!) lots of quiet corners to sit on shabbat. Breakfast and shabbat meals were good. As it was winter we could not use the pool sadly and the spa will only open in ...
