the American Colony hotel, in east Jerusalem, that it's walls hide many secrets. in the previous century, few spies...and many journalists and photographers, used the hotel as a place for their meetings and plans.

The most favorit spot, was the garden, with its coffe tabels, coated with special old school arabic mosaics.
Although the hotel, renewed itself with a new wing, that is additional to the royal majestic suites, the heart of it ,remained this mediterranean garden.

looked sad. so i was happy today, to see it in a full blossom. an artistic combinations of flowers, like in an amazing bouquet, with great sense of colors.

the dominant is red, with much green around. It's like a patio, for all the rooms facing it, in a rectangle . the breakfast buffet is rich, but we were satisfied with a croissant and black coffee.
