Beit Shmuel Hotel in Jerusalem has reopened following a comprehensive renovation with an investment of tens of millions of shekels and under new management. The hotel, located opposite the Old City walls and within walking distance of Mamilla Boulevard and Jaffa Gate, offers 56 newly renovated rooms designed in an authentic Jerusalem style.
The hotel offers a variety of room types, including a private complex featuring 11 rooms with a separate lobby, ideal for groups and extended families seeking complete privacy. In addition, there are Superior Garden rooms with direct access to a private garden, spacious Superior rooms suitable for families, and Standard rooms for couples and individual guests.
Coming Soon: A Rooftop Wellness Complex
As part of the renewal process, the hotel is expected to inaugurate a luxurious wellness complex on the rooftop in the near future. The complex will include a swimming pool with panoramic views of the front line of the Old City walls and the Tower of David, as well as an indulgent spa area.
Alongside the hotel, the renewed Beit Shmuel Conference and Cultural Center has also opened. The center has undergone a significant upgrade and now offers hosting for events and professional conferences at high standards for companies, organizations, and employee committees.
The conference center features several unique venues. The Blaustein Panoramic Hall accommodates up to 380 guests and features glass walls with views of the Old City walls. The FRIENDS Hall (Hirsch Theater) seats 350 and hosts cultural performances, conferences, and events. There is also the Jerusalem Patio, a charming inner courtyard for events of up to 300 participants, as well as several meeting rooms.
The Beit Shmuel Hotel and Conference Center were recently acquired by businessmen Eli Danon and Momi Dahan, and are managed by Adi Ben-Shitrit, a respected and experienced figure in Jerusalem’s tourism industry, who in recent years successfully managed the Eldan Hotel in the city. The hotel and conference center hold kosher certification from the Jerusalem Rabbinate.
“Experiencing Jerusalem Not Only as a Tourist Site”
Eli Danon and Momi Dahan, managers of the renewed Beit Shmuel, said: “Our vision at Beit Shmuel is to offer a different kind of experience in Jerusalem, combining all the advanced facilities required for professional and luxurious hospitality, while preserving Jerusalem’s authenticity and a genuine connection to the city, alongside an unparalleled location facing the Old City walls.”
According to them, “Beit Shmuel is intended to be a home for guests from Israel and around the world, for business and private audiences alike, and for anyone seeking to experience Jerusalem not only as a tourist destination, but as a living, breathing, and inspiring city.”
