The Waldorf Astoria is Jerusalem’s tourism jewel in the crown. Elegant design, exceptional service, extreme care to detail, all contribute to making it, year in year out, one of Israel’s most remarkable hotels, as tourists from everywhere in the world come to soak in the unique Jerusalem atmosphere in this one-of-a-kind establishment. Its summer bar, “the Terrace”, is located on the hotel roof, perfect

for enjoying the cool Jerusalem evening air. Its wooden deck, covered in olive trees, greenery, and plants, is beautifully designed, enhancing the stupendous open views of the city. The central open kitchen allows diners to look into its fascinating goings on, adding to the culinary experience. The menu is decidedly Mediterranean full of gorgeous fish dishes, fantastic meat dishes, including entrecôte steak à

la plancha, and more. The beverage menu is as rich as the food one, with an impressive selection of cocktails devised together with well-known Jerusalem distillery “the Thinkers”, and cigar aficionados will love the exclusive cigar selection included in the menu.
