Crowne Plaza Review

For more than 20 years, this landmark tower on a hill at the western edge of the city was the Jerusalem Hilton, and some Jerusalemites still refer to it as such, which makes for confusion. Public areas, though spacious, are a bit jumbled. Panoramic views from the guest rooms, most with small balconies, are a plus, but the rooms themselves, though comfortable and well equipped, are not remarkable. Crowne rooms offer use of a lounge with snacks, and pampering attention. The location is perfect for conventions at the neighboring Binyinei Ha-Uma Convention Center, and the shopping arcade is good, but you're far from West Jerusalem's cafe-and-restaurant scene. The excellent (kosher) Kohinoor Indian restaurant is on the premises.

Facilities: Restaurant; dining room; cafe; bar; small outdoor pool; miniature golf; tennis courts; health club; sauna; Jacuzzi; children's activities in season; playground; free downtown shuttle; business center; shopping arcade; room service; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms; synagogue; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
