I am looking for a place in Jerusalem where three people can sit and meet for several hours without being rushed to leave. Needs to have wifi access and fairly quiet. Can be a hotel, cafe etc.  place where we could get lunch also while meeting would be a plus.  Any suggestions?
Should not have any issues at Inbal or Citadel, especially if you order lunch during the "meetings"

Not worth visiting MiniIsrael. Agree with the Latrun tank Museum.  Or Castiel.

Daughter is 18 in Sem.

I don't think I will want anything major but maybe a small thing on the way from TLV will be okay. Only there for a day and a half so gotta take advantage.
