Conveniently located in the heart of Israel’s capital, the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem blends Greco-Roman, Gothic and Ottoman architecture. Within the hotel’s 80-year-old façade, guests can stay in one of 226 rooms spanning 10 floors. Opened last April, the hotel features the luxury accommodations travelers desire and expect from the Waldorf Astoria. Inside and out, the Waldorf blends contemporary styles while preserving its predecessor’s stonework. Some of the architecture dates back to the late 1920s.
For a world-class dining experience, guests can visit the Palace Restaurant and King’s Court. The Balcony Bar offers several dishes created from local ingredients. The highly rated concierge desk provides insider tips on best city views, shopping recommendations and sightseeing.
In 2015, the Waldorf is set to unveil the city’s premier spa and health center. For more information or to book a reservation, visit Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem.

Nature might just be the ultimate design muse. It makes perfect sense – nature is vast, ever changing, continuously offers new perspectives and allows designers to work in a variety of dimensions. Concepts can come from vegetables, animals, shapes, textures, etc. The possibilities are endless. Elements of nature can have a calming, peaceful and welcoming effect in the home and are an essential part of creating a one-of-a-kind design aesthetic. Accomplishing this in your own home may be easier than you think.
Start by looking at your own walls. Do you have any exposed stone or brick? Using your natural walls as a backdrop is a great way to add texture to any room.
Bring the outdoors into your living room with this stand out coffee table. Not only does it add color and vitality to your room, but it will also be a topic of conversation
