Villa Brown boutique hotel in jerusalem

Villa Brown a luxury boutique hotel in Jerusalem sits at the crossroads of downtown Jerusalem in one of the oldest areas of the modern city, where the secular, cosmopolitan side of the city meets the historical and religious. The hotel itself sits within the walls of an impressive 19th-century villa once owned by a colorful character of the city’s the Ottoman and British Mandate eras. A respected doctor and notorious socialite, he made use of the villa not only as a private residence, but also a venue for hosting receptions and balls for Jerusalem’s cosmopolitan residents, diplomats and dignitaries. With the construction of Villa Brown, the building has been completely restored and redesigned to rekindle the spirit of this era.

To maintain the villa’s original spirit, Brown Hotels contracted Jerusalem-based architects Galit Shifman Bar-Natan and Michal Cohen Magen to completely restore the edifice, while adding two additional floors to house the hotel’s suites and rooftop spa.
