The Mount Zion Boutique Hotel is a 137-room property at 17 Hebron Road, in the historic district just outside the Old City walls. It combines a quiet, garden setting with an outdoor pool, a poolside bar, a rooftop terrace and a full-service spa. The Western Wall is about a nineteen-minute walk, and the Tower of David Museum and the First Station complex are also close, so the Old City is within easy reach on foot. It sits in the middle of the price range for a hotel of its type, and it appeals to travelers who prefer space and greenery to a city-center address.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits in the historic district just outside the Old City walls, and Jaffa Gate and the Tower of David Museum are a short walk away. The First Station, a former railway station turned leisure space, is nearby, and a taxi or the light rail covers longer trips such as Yad Vashem or the Israel Museum. The hotel has free self-parking, which is unusual in this part of town.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms have air conditioning, safes, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and coffee and tea makers, and the hotel offers a spa with facials, massages and Ayurvedic treatments. There is a coffee shop and a roof terrace. Buffet breakfast and the airport shuttle are available at an extra cost, so decide whether those fit your plans. The slope can be steep in places, so check access if you have limited mobility.
Who it suits
Couples and families who want a calm base with a pool and parking close to the Old City, and travelers who like a boutique feel without paying the top rates. Evening dining options nearby are more limited than in the center, so plan to walk or take a taxi to the downtown restaurants. Check Shabbat arrangements if that matters to you.
