David Citadel Hotel

Centrally located at a busy intersection, Jerusalem's newest luxury hotel (1998) does not have the tranquil buffering gardens of its rival, the King David, but unlike other new hotels in town, it has a distinctive architectural style that mixes Jerusalem stone and traditional arches with sleek postmodern design and views of the Old City. The mood is younger and livelier than the King David's, and food services, directed by Chef Eric Attias, are more innovative, including an excellent kosher sushi bar and nightly theme buffets. Rooms are done in natural textiles and come in a number of sizes; all have views of the Old City and extra amenities. The CYBEX fitness center is the best in Jerusalem; the large, heated pool is open all winter, with a water entrance from inside. Tip: In summer, much of the pool falls under cool shadows after 3pm.
