Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem

Absurd.
Is that the price for Israelis or foreigners staying in the hotel?

it’s quoted in ILS, not sure if they have a different rate for Israelis. I’m inclined to buy food at the shuk and take along a hot logic and enjoy in the room.

Ground transport from TLV to the hotel is offered starting at $250 USD

Have to ask if that's the rate with no VAT.

But yes, hotlogic is compelling. Bring a shabulb or 2 for the room.

I forget, are the rooms generally equipped with mini fridges?

You need to request one, no charge.

Room Renovations have begun. So far 2 completed.

Renovations will continue throughout 2025.

Really hope standard points rate stays at 95k.

Shabbos needs a big overhaul !!

Breakfast and Shabbos food in March were downright embarassing!

Never been to the rooftop bar.

Wow!!

It could be that maybe the reg food staff wasn’t fully back yet, for a while they were severely understaffed after October 7 - I was there in June and the manager told me a lot there regular staff was just starting to make there way back. Breakfast in June was for the most part very good!


The roof top bar is beautiful, very good chill up there and they have full bar and full menus of tasty appetizer type of food.

 Can not believe that you never tried the rooftop bar, it is by far the best chill spot at the property. Also that it is where we would use the voucher for two drinks at the bar, that they gave as an elite benefit back in the day.

Respectfully disagree. Was there in August and food was not good. Borderline awful. Food was not fresh and was a re-dump of yesterday's breakfast mixed into "new dishes". Orange Juice is Petel and they keep the hot dishes sitting in warmers instead of making them fresh.

To clarify my position, when I refer to the breakfast I’m not really talking about the buffet for the most par, I usually never touch the hot food. I’m referring to the the ordering from the waiter of Just about anything you want to have for breakfast. 🥞 🧇 French toast, eggs Benedict and any kind of omelette/eggs you desire! All served fresh to your table. Plus very good freshly made coffees hot or cold. Everyday they have a different smoothie fruit juice. And the rose wine , Pellegrino and bottled water is also a nice touch.

All true, but the buffet needs to be completely overhauled. It's gotten nasty.

Looking to book, 2 adults, 2 children (3 year old and under 1).

Can i book a standard room with points 95K, when i put 2 adults and 2 children it makes me purchase the suites.. Can i just put 1 adult and check in with wife and 2 kids? (have gold and possibly will have diamond by stay).

Any experience with this?

Thanks!

Never had an issue doing this. The staff even has it worked out how to fit the rollaway bed in the standard award room, but it is tight in that size room.

Stayed here last week as a shared B-day with DW.

Loved the room and the amenities.

I have stayed at dozens of hotels in israel this ranks in the top 3 for breakfast. I am not a salad guy so maybe the issues that others had did not apply to me.

Ordered Eggs/waffles/pancakes all were top of the line. Had the pizza and a few other hot dishes, they were all baked fresh and the chef kept coming to replace when things were a little stale. The breads were all fresh and tasty.

The hotel also surprised us with a HUGE piece of cake in the room along with a nice bottle of wine and fruit.
