In recent months, the old American Colony hotel underwent a total facelift during which 41 rooms were upgraded, including the bathrooms, and balconies were even added to some of the rooms.
The hotel sits in a beautiful building built in 1860 as the palace of the Pasha and his four wives. The hotel boasts spectacular Arabian arches, antique furniture and spacious suites. Its four buildings, its lush gardens, its ancient fountains, its restaurants and its extraordinary style, guarantee visitors a feeling of being abroad in the center of the country an hour from the center of the country. Also, the hotel is part of the prestigious organization SLH which requires it to maintain a level of service and hospitality that is among the best in the world.
The hotel has 85 rooms divided into eight different types of rooms and suites, each with its own charm. His name goes far, and it has hosted fascinating people, including Lawrence of Arabia, Winston Churchill, Richard Gere, Bob Dylan, Giorgio Armani, Tony Blair and Coldplay.
The hotel has several shared pleasant corners, including the lobby and three gardens in the central patio. The central garden is even used by the diners for breakfast and the high tea served in the afternoon, with London-style sandwiches and cookies. The hotel also has a heated outdoor pool, gym, sauna and treatment area.
In addition, the hotel has restaurants and bars (not kosher) such as: Arabesque restaurant offering local cuisine and Val's Brasserie overlooking the pool. The summer bar is in the garden of the hotel with a new summer menu where you can find dishes from the Mediterranean cuisine, fresh salads, pizzas and focaccia baked in the local oven and pieces of meat on the grill, vegetarian and vegan dishes and desserts.
