Jerusalem · Large-capacity
Ramada Jerusalem.
Large-capacity kosher hotel — the hotel we book when the simcha block runs larger than Prima Palace can comfortably hold, or when the family wants a pool during chol hamoed. Verified July 2026.
The Honest Fit
Ramada Jerusalem is a large mainstream kosher hotel — a mid-range scale-and-amenity property rather than a luxury or premium-tier address. Large event rooms for 100–200 guest seudos, a pool with separate swim hours, and enough room inventory for a 40-room family block — these are the things that put a simcha here instead of at Prima Palace.
The kashrus is Rabbanut Mehadrin; for Badatz-only families, we suggest our primary four instead.
Pool families should note: separate swim hours are scheduled rather than continuous, so coordinate the schedule in advance for the specific dates of your trip.

Common Questions
Is Ramada Jerusalem kosher?+
Ramada Jerusalem holds Rabbanut Mehadrin supervision across the main kitchen with Chalav Yisrael and enhanced meat standards. The dairy cafe and lobby coffee may hold different standards — ask specifically. Pas Yisrael available on event menus by advance request.
Can I book a bar mitzvah or sheva brachos block at Ramada Jerusalem?+
Yes — Ramada Jerusalem is one of the largest-capacity kosher-supervised hotels in the city, with event rooms for 50–200 guest seudos. JRM coordinates the room block, the seudah menu under Rabbanut Mehadrin, mechitza setup, and the adjacent-room family placement.
Does Ramada Jerusalem have a kosher pool?+
Ramada Jerusalem runs separate swim hours (men's and women's) during certain days of the week and on request during yom tov packages. Confirm the specific schedule for your dates at booking.
When does JRM book Ramada Jerusalem?+
Ramada is our go-to when a simcha block is larger than Prima Palace can comfortably hold, or when pool access during chol hamoed is a family priority. It's less suited to Badatz Eida-only families — our primary four serve that better.
