Local tip
The New Gate is a useful landmark for walking to the center from the Old City, as the property is only steps away.

Guest House - Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center is a peaceful accommodation and hospitality complex near Jerusalem’s Old City, only steps from the New Gate. The setting suits pilgrims, travelers, and locals looking for a calm base with space for rest, reflection, and cultural discovery.

The guest house offers several room categories, ranging from standard and deluxe rooms to balcony and terrace rooms, along with suites. The style is simple, comfortable, and restrained, with selected rooms providing covered outdoor seating, open terraces, private sitting areas, or panoramic terraces. The accommodation is designed for guests who value quiet surroundings and a measured pace rather than a resort-style stay.

Dining is divided into three distinct settings. The Rooftop Restaurant provides a more formal experience focused on fine dining, wine, and views across the Old City. The Bistro offers casual dining, drinks, and a relaxed indoor-outdoor atmosphere. The Dining Room serves buffet-style meals in a warm setting suited to guests and groups. Together, the venues cover a range of occasions, from a straightforward meal during a stay to a more considered evening at the rooftop restaurant.

The center also functions as a place of Christian hospitality, prayer, and learning. The chapel offers a quiet space for spiritual reflection, while the Pentecost Room presents an artistic interpretation of the Acts of the Apostles. The Shroud Exhibit explores the Shroud of Turin through replicas, research displays, and material connecting science, history, and faith. These spaces give the property a cultural and religious character beyond its accommodation and dining facilities.

Meeting rooms, event facilities, and an auditorium support gatherings and organized programs. The overall atmosphere remains contemplative and welcoming, with hospitality shaped by the center’s role as an ecumenical place of Christian unity. The location makes it practical for exploring the Old City while retaining a quieter environment for returning to after sightseeing, group activities, or time spent in the center’s religious and cultural spaces.
