Fodor's "The centerpiece of the marble-floored lobby at the King Solomon is a huge, spherical sculpture of Jerusalem by renowned sculptor Frank Meisler."

Lonely Planet "If 'faded 1970s grandeur' ever becomes fashionable, this place will become one of the hippest hotels in Jerusalem. But until then it's just a tired concrete pile with uninspiring interior decor."
