Jacir Palace stands as a landmark of Bethlehem's architectural heritage, built in 1910 by the prominent Jacir family. The palace showcases a unique blend of Ottoman and Italianate styles, with ornate stonework, arched windows, and a grand facade. After decades of neglect, it was meticulously restored and reopened as a luxury hotel, the Jacir Palace InterContinental. Visitors can admire the building's exterior, stroll through its landscaped gardens, and step into the grand lobby with its original marble floors and chandeliers. The palace also houses a restaurant and bar, making it a refined spot for a meal or drink while soaking in history.
