Notre Dame Guest House

East Jerusalem


Most of the rooms at this splendidly located Vatican-owned guesthouse have wonderful views of the Old City and the Mount of Olives. While the building dates from 1904, its rooms have been refurbished with a refined, classic feel. The guesthouse also has a Mediterranean restaurant with a garden terrace downstairs and a cheese and wine restaurant on the rooftop.
