Close to the old city and the holy sites, Olive Tree Boutique Hotel, located in Jerusalem's American Colony neighborhood, offers warm and welcoming first-class accommodations. Opened in 2000, the hotel was built around an ancient olive tree that legend has it provided shade for caravans of pilgrims just before entering the holy city.
