NEW IMPERIAL HOTEL JERUSALEM, ISRAEL

One of the oldest hotels in Jerusalem, is the New Imperial Hotel which is attractively located in front of the Citadel as you enter the Old City of Jerusalem from its northern Jaffa Gate.

Kaiser Wilhem II stayed here when he visited Palestine in 1898. The wall between the Gate and the Citadel was torn down and the moat filled by the Ottoman sultan Abdel Hamid II in order to permit the Kaiser and his suite to ride into the city. In the 1950s and the 1960s it had an elegant ballroom in which many weddings were held. Sitting on the hotel’s balcony Overlooking Omar Ibn Al-Khatab square one observes below an ever-changing mosaic of people, images, colors and sounds.

It top offers an enchanting panoramic view of Jerusalem. If one steps onto the hotel’s roof, he will see important sites such as Mount Scopus, Mount of Olives, Mount Zion, Dome of the Rock, the dome of the Church of Holy Sepulchre and many more other sites.
