Where The Down Boys Go In Jerusalem

Where: Nablus Road, Jerusalem, Israel

According to Travel & Leisure's June issue, The American Colony Hotel's Cellar Bar is a place for pessimists.

From foreign correspondents on expense accounts, to the well-born sons and daughters of East Jerusalem, to the stringers who get high on the smell of burning tires, everyone gets equal treatment.

Don't let this downtrodden view fool you, the American Colony Hotel is also a tourist hotspot, and one of the most sought after hotels in Jerusalem.

According to one recent guest:

The bar has to be seen, unique with vaulted ceiling. Ask for the deluxe Pasha room, 14 is my favorite with big terrace overlooking the pool area. I liked it so much that I came back few months later with my wife and my 2 kids. For me, best hotel in Middle East (and I travel a lot) and one of my favourite in the world.

Sounds like an atmospheric dichotomy in Jersusalem--go figure.
