Mount Zion Review

Mount Zion. Columns, arched doorways, and windows in Jerusalem stone frame this hotel's ethereal views of the Hinnom Valley. The core of the hotel is a 19th-century building that once served as a British hospital. A new wing was added in the 1970s, but the older Citadel rooms are more interesting and roomy. While the architectural adaptations are inspired, the Moroccan decor in some rooms needs updating. The beautiful pool area has sprawling views, and the lush gardens are redolent with rosemary, honesuckle, and olive trees. The Turkish steam bath spa complex, decorated with traditional blue tiles, is a great addition.
