The Bar/Lounge at David Citadel Hotel

"At Scala restaurant and bar, chef Oren Yerushalmi (who trained at WD-50 and Bouley in New York), prepares a creative, kosher Mediterranean menu; the less formal Seasons restaurant serves an extensive Israeli buffet breakfast"

"The pampering continues in the hotel’s award-winning spa; at its many inventive restaurants (which include the fabulous Scala as well as a kosher sushi bar); and in each and every interaction with the staff, a group of menches (Yiddish for “good people”) who bend over backward to make sure that all requests are accommodated"

"Enjoy tapas and boutique wines at Scala Chef Kitchen & Bar or a meal beneath a glass roof at the Lobby Lounge"

"A sumptuous breakfast with omelet and waffle stands is served in the lounge and terrace one floor above, with stunning views of both the Old City and the amphitheater-shape pool area"

"Rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed (the suites are knockouts), there are three restaurants, and facilities include executive lounge, outdoor pool, children's play centre, spa and gym"
