Kashrus & Hechsher
Is the Dan Jerusalem hotel kosher, and is it mehadrin?
Yes, the Dan Jerusalem hotel on Mount Scopus is a fully kosher hotel under standard Rabbanut supervision, but it is not mehadrin. Families whose standard requires mehadrin or a badatz hechsher should look at mehadrin properties; JRM confirms the Dan's current hechsher level in writing before every booking.
The Dan Jerusalem (formerly the Regency and then the Hyatt Jerusalem) sits on Mount Scopus with sweeping views of the Old City — one of Jerusalem's most dramatic hotel perches. It has an on-site shul and can arrange a ballroom minyan for large groups; Shabbos elevator arrangements are confirmed per booking. Its standard Rabbanut certification has historically been relied on by modern-Orthodox and dati-leumi families and by large organized tours where room scale matters.
What the Dan is not is mehadrin — and large groups or travel agents sending dozens of rooms should plan accordingly. For a group at mehadrin level with comparable room count, Jerusalem Gate (298 rooms, Badatz Mehadrin Rabbanut Yerushalayim plus OU) is the natural alternative. For families at badatz level, Haneviim Boutique (Badatz Eida HaChareidis) and Prima Palace (Badatz Agudat Yisrael) are the options JRM books directly.
