Architecture
The David Citadel Hotel
The eleven-story David Citadel Hotel is shaped like a horseshoe whose inner surface echoes the great opera houses, with the rooms' balconies looking out onto the 'stage,' in this case, the Old City and the historical site “Citadel and Tower of David”. At the bases of the horseshoe a series of terraces accommodates a glass-domed lobby, dining area, a swimming pool, and hanging gardens. The attenuated sides of the horseshoe step down on either side, in effect allowing the building to descend toward the Old City, affording each suite a roof garden. The hotel is constructed of traditional rough-hewn golden Jerusalem limestone.
