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."
Frommer's "The entrance is on a service driveway between the two thoroughfares and opens onto an airy, multilevel stone-floor lobby." Full review
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."
