Bottom Line

The Mamilla is one of the most gorgeous hotels in Jerusalem, with high-design decor that blends historic and modern, incorporating historic Jerusalem stone (similar to sandstone), sleek contemporary furniture, and occasional bold pops of color. It easily lives up to international five-star standards, and it has a convenient location in a revitalized neighborhood within walking distance of the Old City. Rooms have Jerusalem stone walls, wooden floors, flat-screen TVs and clean-lined furniture; big bathrooms have electronic glass walls (they go opaque with the touch of a button), soaking tubs, and walk-in showers. The hotel's features are extensive and impressive; the stylish rooftop restaurant and lounge is a highlight, as is the Akasha Wellbeing Center with a chic underground pool. The Cigar Lounge off of the trendy Mirror Bar is a hub for the city's famous politicians.
