The East New Imperial Hotel, situated right at the Jaffa Gate Plaza inside the Old City of Jerusalem is a building of great historical importance in the Holy City.

In this booklet the Hotel’s individual history is put into the broader context of the history of the place and its neighbouring and surrounding area. To put it in one phrase: The history of the East New Imperial Hotel is a story that never lost its topical meaning.
