Khan Ein Karem is an intimate boutique hotel located in a beautifully preserved 19th-century house, whose unique architectural style creates a haven of peace and quiet in the heart of the hills of Ein Kerem.
Each one of the spacious four suites has its own unique character, designed to host couples or families. Every room has either its own balcony overlooking a breathtaking view, a private garden, or an outdoor patio. The rooms and other lovely turns and corners in the hotel immerse our guests in an experience of inspiring design and architecture. In addition, the hotel has a shared roof overlooking the breathtaking view of the Ein Kerem village and the surrounding mountains of Jerusalem. Breakfast is served in our kosher dairy dining room which also offers chef meals, crafted by chef Hemdat Goldberg.
We’re born and raised in Ein Kerem. We spent our childhood running barefoot and carefree in the alleys of the village, basking in the nature surrounding it and in the halls of our parent’s home, which was open and hospitable for all. Dad was a lightning designer for Khan Theater, mom was the owner of a boutique shop, and running around them and their friends, actors, and actresses from Israel and abroad – were we.
The inevitable departure from home was devastating, and we never stopped dreaming about going back to the village, to our lost garden of Eden that contained all our memories from childhood and youth. Now, after it was desolate and abandoned for years, we decided to return to our childhood home and make it a place where we can host our friends and show them the beauty and magic of Ein Kerem.
