This area lies in Jerusalem's southwest quadrant, due south of Jaffa Gate. Baka is some distance away, but all other listed properties are a fairly easy walk from the Old City. The German Colony is an excellent place for people-watching, or for a relaxed afternoon of boutique shopping. The opening of Isrotel's luxurious Orient Hotel in 2017 will be an elegant addition to the German Colony.
A lovely sundeck, deluxe rooms with delightful views, and a funky lobby lounge give this hotel a contemporary appeal. Staff are accommodating and great food is a constant draw for guests. Rooms are painted in cheerful shades of burnt orange and mustard yellow. Work out in the small, modern gym or by making the short walk to the Old City.
