Notre Dame of Jerusalem – Sacred Views, Perfect Location, and a Unique Experience
If you’re looking for a place to stay in Jerusalem that feels like Europe, with breathtaking views, peaceful ambiance, and deep historical roots – Notre Dame is the perfect choice.
The hotel is located just opposite the New Gate of the Old City, within walking distance to the Christian Quarter, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Western Wall, and Mahane Yehuda Market. It’s an ideal base for walking tours around Jerusalem’s treasures – and yes, it also has parking, which is a rare luxury in this area.
The building itself is magnificent – by day and by night – with castle-like architecture and a serene atmosphere. The rooms are comfortable, the service is warm and helpful, and you feel a mix of spiritual serenity and premium hospitality throughout.
A small tip for visitors:
The rooftop restaurant offers one of the best panoramic views in the city, especially at sunset – highly recommended! Just note that although the restaurant is open until 11:00 PM, the kitchen closed early when we arrived at 9:30 PM, which was a bit disappointing.
Bottom line:
Notre Dame offers an amazing location, calming atmosphere, and a touch of holiness. A great choice for anyone looking to explore Jerusalem on foot while staying in a truly special place.
