Məkan haqqında

Quarried pink limestone defines the exterior of this landmark hotel, which overlooks the Old City and Mount Zion.

Egyptian banker Ezra Mosseri founded the property alongside investors from Cairo and the National Bank of Egypt. Builders constructed the landmark using locally quarried pink limestone on Julian Way, which later became King David Street. The site sits directly opposite Mount Zion and the historic Old City walls. During the British Mandate period, British military and civil administration housed headquarters in the southern wing.

Davam et

The southwestern corner suffered extensive destruction when the militant group Irgun detonated explosives inside the building. Following the end of the British Mandate, the structure served as a Jewish stronghold and later overlooked the armistice line across partitioned territory. The Dan Hotels chain eventually purchased the site, adding upper floors after the Six-Day War and hosting film crews for the movie Exodus.

Exiled monarchs including Haile Selassie of Ethiopia and King Alfonso of Spain lived on the grounds during international conflicts. Visiting heads of state, American presidents, and British prime ministers routinely reserve entire wings for diplomatic summits. Long-term staff and visiting delegations operate under permanent hospitality protocols and strict perimeter monitoring designed for international state receptions.
