Kashrus & Hechsher
Is the Grand Court Hotel in Jerusalem kosher, and is it mehadrin?
Yes, the Grand Court Hotel on St. George Street is a fully kosher hotel with an in-house mashgiach under Rabbanut Yerushalayim supervision — and its dairy kitchen is mehadrin. The hotel is not mehadrin hotel-wide, however, so families whose rav requires full mehadrin or a badatz certification should book from the mehadrin tier instead.
The Grand Court sits in the Morasha neighborhood on St. George Street, north of the Old City — roughly a 20-minute walk to the Kotel — with a Shabbat elevator, an in-hotel shul, and an in-house mashgiach supervising the full operation. The dairy-is-mehadrin nuance is worth knowing: it makes it a step above a plain standard-Rabbanut kitchen for families keeping Chalav Yisrael or mehadrin dairy, but it is not a mehadrin certificate for the whole hotel.
For families whose rav requires mehadrin or a badatz hechsher, the right alternatives are Cassia Jerusalem (Glatt Kosher Mehadrin, King David Street), Prima Kings Hotel (Rabbanut Yerushalayim Glatt Mehadrin, King George Street), Haneviim Boutique (Badatz Eida HaChareidis), Prima Palace (Badatz Agudat Yisrael), Yirmiyahu 33 (Mehadrin by HaRav Efrati with a Mashgiach Temidi), or Jerusalem Gate (Badatz Mehadrin Rabbanut Yerushalayim plus OU). We confirmed the Grand Court's certification against the hotel's own kashrus statements in July 2026 and re-confirm in writing per booking.
