What happened to the King Solomon Hotel in Jerusalem?
The King Solomon Hotel on King David Street closed for a three-year renovation and reopened in February 2023 as Cassia Jerusalem. It remains a fully kosher hotel — Glatt Kosher Mehadrin under the Jerusalem Rabbinate — with a shul on premises and Shabbat elevators.
Most kosher-hotel lists online still show the old name, which is why families searching for the King Solomon find conflicting information. The property at 32 King David Street is now Cassia, a 148-room boutique-wellness hotel facing the Old City walls, about a 25-minute walk to the Kotel; booking sites like Booking.com and Expedia sometimes still index it under King Solomon URLs.
Its official Shabbos-observer page confirms the details frum families ask about: Glatt Mehadrin certification, a synagogue on premises, Shabbat elevators for the upper floors, and lower floors reachable within two flights of stairs. We verified this against the hotel's own pages in June 2026.
