A new lifestyle in the Old City with the Mamilla Hotel
Published: Tue, 2009-12-15 10:54Located in a remarkable position in the city centre with breath-taking views of the Old City walls, the Tower of David and Jaffa Gate, the Mamilla is a modern, world-class hotel that combines a distinctly international outlook with the unique cultural heritage of this incredible city.
Where luxury, lifestyle and heritage meet
The Mamilla Hotel juxtaposes the spectacular sights and enjoyments of this very ancient city with a fresh, modern approach to hospitality that reflects and anticipates the expectations and needs of a well-travelled, in the know and discerning clientele. In particular the hotels ambition is to go above and beyond simple lodging to deliver to guests and visitors alike a genuine lifestyle experience that delights and inspires through numerous aesthetic, emotional and sensory touchpoints. This focus is on providing not just Jerusalem’s finest first-class accommodations but also a vast array of unique experiences for the mind, body and soul. This is borne out through architecture by Moshe Safdie, bespoke, contemporary design by Piero Lissoni, multiple restaurants and bar venues offering a range of both local and international cuisine, a chic ‘Mirror’ bar, a terrazzo-style Rooftop brasserie with uninterrupted views of the Old City, a holistic well-being spa and gym, various events and banqueting spaces and an elegant, gracious and personalized service.
Respecting the city's architectual beauty
Known outside Israel for buildings such as the Columbus Centre in New York, the Shenzhen Cultural Centre in China and Montreal’s Habitat 67 residential community, Moshe Safdie’s appointment as project architect places the Mamilla amongst some of the most important and visually arresting buildings in the world. Heeding Jerusalem law which dictates that all new construction utilizes Jerusalem Stone – a local limestone with a distinctive, light hue, designed to protect and respect the city’s precious architectural beauty – Safdie has created a stunning structure that emanates the characteristic shine of the stone, and in doing so has developed a true Jerusalem aesthetic that is both modern and in keeping with the very ancient walls and buildings next door.
