We enjoyed an absolutely spectacular stay at the King David Hotel in May 2025. There is simply no place like it. Special thanks to Jeremy who was marvelous. He could not have been more welcoming, helpful, and attentive. We cannot wait to return!

This review is a long time in coming. My family had never been to Israel before. We had decided to take the trip towards the end of January 2025. I was a little concerned as it is the off season and sometimes cold but the weather turned out perfect. Upper 60's 70's F. I digress as this review is about my experience at the King David Hotel. Lets start with the pre stay concierge services. As our plane landed we were greeted by our driver Doron. Doron has a new Mercedes Sprinter van/limo that was incredibly comfortable and ample room for our luggage. (4 People - 10bags). When we arrived in the grand portico the bellman Stanislaw saw to our luggage and Muhammad at the front desk ushered us immediately to our rooms. We had 2 rooms both with old city views. I beautiful suite for my spouse and a double for our children, Upon arrival into the suite we were greeted with fresh fruit and drinks. I should mention that the new fruit was brought in every evening during our 7 day stay. Breakfast is amazing the a ala carte choices as well as buffet options were not only plentiful but clearly designed to cater to whatever geographic region you were coming from. Special shout out to Talib the Maître' D, and Hani our server for really coming through for us. Downstairs is an amazing steakhouse and during the Friday night meal we were provided guidance from an excellent Sommelier Yardena. My children loved the individual attention that was provided throughout the hotel. We felt like the rockstars/royalty and notable guests that grace the main Hallway. Included in this was Shani, Angela and Muhammad at the front desk. During our stay one of my children came down with the flu. Within hours we had a house Dr. arrive for a diagnosis and prescription The hotel is Historic, with an old world elegance reminiscent of the finest European properties that have stood the test time. The grounds are unrivaled with an amazing pool area, gardens and tennis court. As someone who stays in hotels for almost 100 nights a year, I recognize excellence. This trip would not have been as amazing, were it not for our Head concierge Jeremy Weiss - Les Clef D'or. Anything we needed to be arranged was handled promptly and he went above and beyond expectations. Without his guidance I don't think we would have had as great of an experience. As I write this review. I have already booked our flights for our next trip to Israel in October. If one is looking for class, comfort and the very definition of hospitality is there is no rival in Jerusalem. Thank you again for a wonderful experience we look forward to seeing you soon!!!

From the initial greeting every interaction with staff is special. Particularly the breakfast. The breakfast buffet is special in Israel but at the KD it reaches the pinnacle The rooms are great and everything works. This is a must do/stay hotel
