Jerusalem is one of the few cities in the world where you can walk from ancient ruins thousands of years old to a new urban area in under 10 minutes. As you walk around the city you can see the history, the mix of cultures and religions that helped shape the city as it exist today. We are proud to have both our Jerusalem hotels express these qualities through their own design and concept.  The award winning Harmony Hotel represents the harmonious balance of all the qualities that Jerusalem has. First, by being a modern hotel situated in the historic neighborhood of ‘Nachalat Shiva’ (one of the first neighborhoods in New Jerusalem)...

  Another one of the rooms included in the ongoing “The Room is on Fire” project at Artplus Hotel is the piece ‘untitled’ in room 201 by artist Elad Kopler. A strip made of pink synthetic fur on the wall leads those entering the room to the artwork.  Mixing humor into this piece he uses the pink fur to create the form of a television set as the center of the art piece, which leads the viewers imagination to the world of children’s play rooms. A wall drawing that grows hair creates the artwork to be a three dimensional structural – sculpture shape enveloping the walls and ceiling. Kopler personifies the...

  In this guest room, icluded in the ongoing project “The Room is on Fire” at Artplus Hotel, the work of artist  Yochai Matos is featured. The peice entitled ‘‘simple messages’ is a sculptural light installation  in the shapre of a heart and is made from some twenty neon tubes.

In the hotel room, a space that is both public and intimate, the piece is mounted over the double bed as a bed is identified...

  Included in the Artplus Hotel  “The  Room is on Fire” project is this guest room by artist Leav Misrahi. In this room the artist put  images on different walls of  the guest room.  These images include a tree, house, deer and fox.  At first glance the room may look like that of a child’s. From far away the images look to be hand drawn, but when looked upon closer one can see that the images are created from staples.  This can create a feeling of disturbance as one goes from the idea of  a naive children’s setting to the realization that it is not.   The artist based his work on the...

  Part of “The Room is on Fire” project at Artplus Hotel Tel Aviv, room 310 contains an art peice by artist Yonatan Herschfeild. The idea being expressed in this fresco painting “Isabelle”  is that of  Sinner/Saint. In the painting, which hangs from the ceiling of the room,  you will see the figure of  the Holy Maria going up to heaven, yet you can also images of dogs and that of another woman, Isabelle.  It is stated in the bible that Isabelle was thrown to the dogs because of  her religious beliefs and was thus cast as a sinner. The artist is also expressing his beliefs of the tense relationship between...
